I would hazard a guess that the fishing line incident in 2009 was far more serious for him. And EJ had the epic fight for her nest back in 2004. Both of these birds are seriously tough.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
That wasn't a very big piece of fish that EJ got. Better than nothing though.

What a surprise to see all that snow at LG! Been going for about 2 hours you say. And poor Odin has a cut on his leg, hope it mends soon. He has fished though so hopefully not too bad.
Wow - that really shows the bloody leg clearly, moffer. :(

And now it's Odin's turn to sit in the snow.

Oh gosh, it's snowing again.
So it is... :(
Windy but no snow at Loch of Lowes...
Odin is shifting position on the eggs and digging the nest cup.
