More intrusions yesterday but nothing like as aggressive as they have been. Odin caused concern, he was not seen on the nest for 9 hours but stamped his authority on it and on EJ when he did eventually appear, by pseudo-mating.
It's another windy night, EJ has just taken a 2-minute break - that's 2 minutes from getting up to sitting down, not 2 minutes in flight:
She returned from an unusual direction, hope you can recognise her legs in the top right:
Flaps:
Back on the eggs, alert, she is not sleeping yet as I type:
Gosh, I need to outline EJ's face, eyes and beak in that last snap, I can hardly pick her out myself :o

He did a while ago, Cirrus, but he didn't bring her any fish.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good night all. See you tomorrow.

Good night MOFFER and Thank you.
Aww EJ is having a hard time keeping awake. Her head keeps dropping,and then she rouses.
Nite MOFFER, I've appreciated all your posts and capturrs. Yours too CLARE and SHEILA
Poor EJ is still calling.
I don't think there will be any fish supper tonight. Perhaps these are contact calls for reassurance. Blue 33 and Maya enjoy sharing the nest, lying down together, but we don't see that with EJ and Odin.
