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
IMAGICAT
Talking of touching up pics, I haven't seen our dear friend CC for days and don't remember her saying she'd be away. Wishing her well!
Was chatting with CC on Wellesley Ravens on first of May Scylla!

Thanks, WENDY. She's probably been here and I've somehow missed her :-)
I think it's raining.
EJ just having a shuffle.
I KNOW it's raining now!
Are you knowingly absolutely certain you know it is now raining Scylla?? !!! :-p
Haha! I THINK it MAY POSSIBLY have stopped raining now ;-)
Well ... Pouring down here in E Kent!! Hello night peeps!
Hiya night peeps! :) Looks a wee bit breezy at LG, and EJ's looking her usual stunning self.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Hello everyone and scylla :-*
I have indeed peeked in during the tumultuous days of intruders this past week, but having not made any observations, I did not post anything. I am away in Canada now and will be back home tomorrow night to check up again on you all and new reports. :)
