No mention of yesterday - I can't remember it :-/
A quiet night, but not nearly as much sleep tonight as last, she was alert for much of the time:
IMAGICAT
Thanks everyone for all the updates and captures of today's activities.
Strange Ej taking off .. I wonder if there is a female intruder around as I think the female deals with female and male with males.
That's what I was wondering, Karen. There was a female intruder last year.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I was going to wait until someone returns to the nest, but it's been a long wait - so here is a tiny clip to show those who missed it, how urgently Odin left the nest:
Yes Clare, I remember and I can only think that this would cause EJ to leave the nest.
EJ and Odin really don't need this.
More alarm calls close to the nest

Mmmm what is going on!! How long is it normally that they would leave the eggs alone?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Not too long, Catlady. They should be OK at the moment - they've been known to leave eggs for 20-25 minutes before without ill effects.
:( Odin left at 19.17. That's 25 minutes ago.
EJ is back alarm calling
