EJ with pipes.
Did she bring a stick? Must check.
Odin has landed close to the cam. Both on the nest, while EJ sorts out an awkward stick she may have brought it, or perhaps she is just tidying.

Odin is never all mantled out - he is the Magnificent, after all:
I wonder what they're watching?
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's breezy up there. They are moving in uniform with the gusts and light twiggy sticks on the front right keep shifting too.
Odin moves to the posing perch!
EJ has flown
He's clearly having fun:
EJ has had enough of this and she's flown:
Odin is now happily nestorising. Was that what he was after?
Odin decides to move the twiggy stick
Odin, gorgeousness, the least you could do is pose in this direction.
