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:
IMAGICAT
This situation can't go on much longer can it. The intruders will come to understand that this couple are solid.

Hello Everyone,
We have sent a reply to scylla re the quality of the live stream. Early yesterday the broadband line at LG became extremely slow and quite erratic. To counter this we reduced the frames per second which in turn had the effect of increasing the quality of each video frame. A slight knock on effect of this setting is that every few seconds some frames will be dropped due to the broadband quality. I.E. The video appears to freeze momentarily.
So we have two choices:
It would be great to know what the consensus is on which you feel is most important. Based on the message from scylla, we have for the moment reverted to how it was.
Thanks,
Peter, Carnyx Wild
Thanks for getting back to us here..
Much appreciated and will leave it to regulars to help you.
Night cam on.
Thank you SHEILA for letting us know that there are two intruders and MOFFER for the pic of a very tired looking Odin.
Thanks Peter, seems like we're between a rock and a hard place. It would be interesting to know of alternatives which we could financially contribute to. In the meantime I would ģo with whatever Scylla thinks best.
Intruder !!!

Unknown said: So we have two choices: Maximum frame rate and reduced video quality, as it has been for the last few weeks. Reduce the frame rate and improve the video quality.
