High time I started a DU thread! It's the first day of May and EJ the Beautiful is fast asleep:
If all goes to plan we should have chicks this month! Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic after last year but I'm feeling positive for this pair.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
EJ is calling

EJ is watching someone flying, not alarmed at all. It must be Odin.
It may be windy, but the sun is making an appearance
EJ is so relaxed. It must be Odin flying around. She turns the eggs and nibbles on the soft furnishings.
Good morning, all. It's lovely to look at EJ with the sun on her feathers, especially knowing she's had a nice fish!
Morning Clare :) Indeed, she looks stunning in the sunshine.
Here's Odin
