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.

He has flown.

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

He's gone - here's a vid of their miserable condition. (Waiting for publishing.)

It was the remains of the fish that he has been eating for the last couple of hours in the camera tree!
REALLY! Wish EJ could have had a bite of that! How do you know?

In the blog it says

He returned to a nearby tree this afternoon with a fish and has been snacking on it for the past couple of hours, much to EJ’s annoyance. Which must mean

He didn't bring the tail end to EJ, as he came empty taloned! Perhaps he thought she wouldn't be able to keep the eggs warm if he tempted her off them LOL!!

He's back:

Has he brought her part of a fish?
