Following a fishless (but otherwise very satisfactory) day, when Odin may have been preoccupied with corvid and/or other unseen threats on 'n off all day, EJ's activity now forces my hand yet again ;-) Very stilted activity, I may add >:(
She had had a very good sleep:
Then, up with flaps and off and back with some lovely EJ-special chirps:
Nice frazzled-looking tail display:

It was skydancing, I just couldn't hear well at the time due to Californian owlets going berserk. Let's hope she well and truly saw him off !!!
I'm done in now, I shall be recording as always, SYL :-*
Well done EJ. I hope she has got rid of that intruder. Didn't like seeing the eggs home alone. Thank goodness it is a warm day. Wonder where Odin is? Fishing?
Great vid Scylla, thank you. Those males should head to Wales!

Here's Odin with nest material. EJ's not getting up, but shouting at him!
EJ gives up and leaves.
Oh good, thinks Monty, she's moved so I can have a go on the eggs

So agree, Scylla - EJ's sounds were totally different in your video to her usual chirrups, food calling or alarm cries. Thanks for capturing for us :-)

LOL Monty?
Shared on FB again today. Aviemore Ospreys vid of Odin fishing, taken this time last year.
