Good news No1 is that Odin's injury can no longer be seen, whatever it was has washed right away :-)
Good news No2 is that there's been a blessed thaw :-)
The bad news is that the intruder has persisted even more cheekily today, disturbing EJ on the nest - but she firmly got rid of him. I took some snaps from the video Jen kindly supplied:
Girding her loins:
A flying tackle:
A sharp shove and he fled:
Just before midnight LIMPY took some beautiful shots of EJ, here's one I love:
She is now quietly resting:

Good morning everyone. Thank you scylla for starting the DU thread.
It is great to see the DU thread and indeed the others back to their very best.

The camera is SO much clearer today ! Marvellous viewing. I do trust the snow has finished now.
Good morning to all, was on here earlier this morning but before I could post was waylaid by news from Dyfi & Norwich Peregrines ! Many thanks for all news & pics, looks so chilly for EJ & Odin today, brrrrr

Odin back on nest defending... disappeared from view, frantic sounding...
We have a mantling Odin:
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.
Can hear Odi alarm calling distantly, then he's back on the nest and off again.
Good morning all. Thank you all VERY much for the posts so far today.
I have been watching (in bed) on my Ipad. Had to come down to join in. (My backs real crook today)
I think that the intruder is making passes at the nest. Odin flew in to defend.
Just after he flew, this was EJ's reaction to someone approaching from the other direction.
