HI all: Will be out tonight at friends; not sure what time home, but will check in at least to make sure nest hasn't blown away or anything.... Currently, EJ on nest and awake; no wind to speak of.
Morning everyone and to the LG team as well. All looks calm at LG and LOtL, wind seems to have dropped which is good news.
Has Odin been in yet this morning with breakfast?

Morning All: looks nice and peaceful on the nest - EJ preening as she sits.
Morning All. I hope Odin goes fishing early today. There is rain and wind forecast from around mid-day onwards
Hi Brenda H I wonder if they have an instinct for weather changes? It seems cruel that we in the South will look forward to fine weather whilst they will have to suffer the wind & rain once again.
HI Linda, I do think all wildlife has some sense of impending weather. I wish they would teach our weather forecasters.
EJ looking round and on alert, could Odin be around with breakfast!! seems a bit restless, maybe she needs to have a break.
Marj is calling at LOtL probably wants her breakfast too,. As I write Odin flies in wih no fish ;but ready to do egg duty. Pushing EJ of nest so he can have his go. EJ flies off.Hang on I think it was Odin sitting and EJ just flew back in, oh it is confusing.
Missed that, Lynette. Looks like EJ on the nest at present, to me.

Good morning Wattle 15 I think you are right about being a "spit and polish" man. He always has to have a little tidy up when he arrives.
He looks almost regal I think we should call him King Odin. I love to watch the communication between EJ and her handsome man and also the way they chirrup to the eggs. All in all a magical experience for us.

Good morning Brenda I saw the weather forecast and my heart dropped, not more wet and windy weather for EJ and Odin. Have just seen a changeover. Think it is Odin incubating and eventually are standing there for a few minutes EJ set off, and left the proud Daddy doing what he appears to love doing,

Brenda just going through Daily Chat and I agree. I watch the birds in my garden and they seem to know because they eat more. Perhaps we should suggest they do the weather forceasts as you say becuase they hardly ever seem right. Hope this rain and wind coming in is not going to last too long.
