I have informed Carnyx that we would like to revert to the High Quality, Low Frame Rate transmission. Either we will be able to see the fish more clearly, or there won't be a fish to see, haha!
More intrusions yesterday, but Odin was really on the ball, very protective towards his nest and EJ. He brought her about half a fish in the morning, disappointingly there was no evening meal despite her requests.
Tonight is quiet but I wonder if EJ has heard Pine Marten stirrings down below, she has lifted her head and looked downward:

Well catastrophe. My cam had stopped, and when I tried to get into the forum, nine minutes ago, I couldn't. Timed out!! Same with GC and FF, forum and main RSPB. Anyway I'm here. Cam is stuttering again, but EJ was incubating at 17.10. She started her gentle tweets, but by 17.14 they were a bit more urgent. She got up, tweeting, turned the eggs, tweeting, moved some nesting material and settled back down with a louder tweet as she did so. 17.17 she did another loud tweet and again checked the eggs.
Her tweets are getting as persistent as I think I've heard her recently. Perhaps she is getting him used to the noise in preparation for hatching!
17.22 a brief pause and she tweets again

17.31 more tweets. She seems to be looking over her right shoulder, rather than the usual left.

LOL CIRRUS! They are both getting ready for the babies! Odin bringing in a larger fish and EJ is fish soliciting well too!

I think EJ has remembered what her voice is for. She can't be hungry.
Bless her, she keeps nodding off.
I'm glad that the white feather is gone from her beak, but it's starting to look like she's had a pillow fight with all those fluffy feathers on the nest :)
EJ has spotted Odin and started calling again.
Aaaah Great to see EJ has had a fish.... thanks for all the posts/captures.
