Normality On The Nest - Or Is It ?

Yesterday was a day of normality - or was it? Certainly there seems to be a lack of fish for EJ. A bit more of Odin wanting to mate, but why? EJ has already laid three eggs so is Odin trying to have four this season? As for me I think three is enough otherwise the nest gets too overcrowded and there is always a chance of a vulnerable chick not getting enough fish at feeding time or being knocked out of the nest and not surviving.

So what else happened yesterday? A bit of intrusion by an intruder and finally Odin flies in with a fish for EJ at 17:57 - a well needed fish. EJ took it from Odin and flew off with it.

So what now? We all wait for the 23/24/25 of May when we should have our first bobblehead at LG for this season. Personally I will hedge my bets for the 24/05/2015 late afternoon or early evening.

Well the new day starts with EJ on the nest and all is quiet.

Yes, FISH!!!

I've just woken up to find I'm crashed, but what luck that I just got it going in time for Odin to arrive.

Many thanks CC.

Had anyone noticed the blood earlier? I can't see reference to it with a quick look.

Aww bless, he looked at the snowless nest cup with the eggs and seemed to wonder what was going on! Instinct took over and he is now incubating. Wonderful Odin

Moffer mentioned on the new blog that she noticed blood yesterday evening at 19:15.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

I first saw blood yesterday at 19.15.

And this morning it looked pretty sore.

I noticed that LIMPY also had some photos with blood on his leg yesterday.

That looks really uncomfortable. I wonder if the snowy conditions are actually making it feel more comfortable? I bet it would feel awful if it was hot.

Poor Odin injured in battle to protect his family. At least he won't get flies on it with weather like this. I expect he's had worse.
