There being two of them might go some way to explaining.
On the subject of these awful intrusions, and the ones at Site B, could it be that the Mediterranean March weather has something to do with it? Delaying so many birds' return? Has it upset the ospreycart?
IMAGICAT
Odin certainly seems to have 'met his match,' TIGER
I wonder if the fact EJ accepted a fish from the intruder last week means he feels he has a claim on her.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I had thought that, CLARE. He would have seen it as encouragement.
She's looking increasingly wet:

Heavy rain and strong winds here, but I must go out. SYAL
This is a supposed right-leg BTO ring :-/
At this rate Carnyx can't give us Option 2 too soon!!!
I've had some time out to think about this situation. OO on FB say that Odin has been around chasing the intruder. They did not mention the second intruder!
Saying that, we did hear male alarm calls. Only time will tell.
Anyways, it's stopped raining on EJ, and the sun is out.
