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
Sounds like she's calling for some 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.
It does indeed sound like fish calling.

Another plaintiff call looking behind her.

That's a demanding tweet.
Hello Everyone, SHEILA MARY CLARE> Does anyone have sound on VLC please? I'm not sure if my sound is out or not. I have the volume to max but I can't hear anything
Oh, it may be because I had my speskers turned down so I wouldn't disturb my neighbours early this a m
LOL. I can't hear anything other than when EJ calls. She is looking a bit damp now.
My sound has been on and off all day on VLC.
EJ just gave another little call.
EJ is still giving bursts of twittering calls staring at the cam tree.
Here's Odin, fishless.
