.Only 6 pages for yesterday should indicate a pretty uneventful day - but we had a lot of alarming and Blue Darvic back on the nest, cheeky charmer, plus EJ and Odin bonding late at night.

And off he flew, EJ remains on the nest, she's been looking interested in something - admittedly not in this snap:
Now she's calling... tweeting quite softly and intermittently.
Doing a mini-catch-up after being out of the room for a few minutes.

Odin returned, no mating attempt:

Good morning Scylla. I' have ENS currently.
Birdies LG DU update.
EJ flew, as silently as she had stayed, at 0524hr:
