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:

EJ takes a very quick comfort break.
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
EJ has been watching someone for a few minutes. She is quiet.
While it is quiet, I will stop lurking and thank you all for some fantastic captures.
It's lovely to see EJ relaxed and preening.
Still a very calm and quiet scene, apart from the wind. No sign of Odin or the intruder since about 09.30.
A wing stretch, a little shuffle and back on the eggs.
The wind has given EJ a new hair-do. Nothing to report. Still quiet.
Good news to hear the intruder seems to have kept away. EJ stands up, has a shuffle beneath her and settles once more.
14.43 She stands to attend to the eggs underneath
She tried to settle, but it wasn't quite right
14.45 That's better.

MMMMmmmm don't like that news MOFFER , In fact, it makes me miserable
Perhaps Odin has taken the intruder to one side, to have a word in his ear CIRRUS. Odin was gone for longer than this yesterday and he came back ok. He fished this morning so we know that he is well.
I have to go for a while, but I'm watching upstairs. I'll be back if anything happens.
