Getting a late start tonight, but no rush. EJ on nest; all is quiet.
I've been away for a quick sandwich and look at the News headlines: all the same old stuff, except that now people are finally managing to get home from abroad as some planes are in the air.
EJ still sitting on those eggs, she is such a good Mother.
13.51: FISH DELIVERY ! Odin brings in a nice medium sized fish, and EJ stretches her wings, then flies off with it. Now he has gone, too!
I had to leave the room, but on returning, found Odin at his post, on the eggs again. (the sun is shining as if its a summers day now)
Lindybird thanks for flagging up fish delivery, he is being a good OH today. When I first looked (I hade been away from screen for a while) the nest was empty but Odin returned as I watched. It looks as though there is hardly any wind there today as well.

Lindybird meant to say in my last post the sky above me is full of vapour trails and has been for most of the morning.
Lindybird I spoke to soon about the wind not being too bad, at the moment it is really blowing acresss the nest again and Odin has just had a little chirp, probably saying for goodness sake give it a rest.
Oh dear another hail shower and high winds too.
You really spoke too soon, Margobird! can hear the sleet and hail now, and the winds returned. What a day it is!
Aaack! As Col surmised, mildly put out at having missed egg-laying. Col: Don't often see you over here? Margobird: Saw that clip on the crows on a recent nature program; very smart indeed. Lilndybird: Oh dear, are we supposed to be taking showers and watching cams?? :-) Off to have breakfast with daughter this morning; back later.
At last EJ sitting in the sun. What a difference it makes to see her sitting like that. So peaceful and serene!!
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
