I must disappear for a while - off to NW Scotland tomorrow need to cut the grass and pack! I hope to call in to LG, en route south, on Saturday 30 May, to catch up on events. I will certainly be having withdrawals by then.
EJ is calling again. Another intruder I think. She is half up, calling and half mantling. Calling again, but not mantling nor settled back properly.
Now up properly on the edge and watching around. Oh, and a quick preen.

Taking a rest from incubating
Is that a call to an intruder, or a call for fish!
More preening on the rim.
It's good to see her taking care of her feathers at last.
......and having a good preen
Radio chaffinch back on air!
The sound is back :)

Sorry that I have not much to report, I was at the VC for about 1.1/2 hours, the whole time EJ did not budge, so didn't get a good look at the egg. The Board that says "The Day so Far " was completely blank.
No sign of Odin the whole time I was there.
I was there when the intruder was around, it was an Osprey circling around and flying above the nest. I came away from the Centre just after that. They must have the sound turned down because you can hardly hear any sound when you can see EJ vocalising on the screen, or maybe it is just that the Centre is so busy, it was jammed packed when I left so it was pretty noisy.
Won't be going tomorrow as will be elsewhere.
Sorry not to have any more news.
