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.
gary a said: Margobird, they are great aren't they:) Love the one of him "body surfing"

Love the one of him "body surfing"
Gary I couldn't find the words to describe it but "body surfing" is very apt. What I am always amazed about is how gentle they both are when settling down. Odin looking pleased to be baby sitting again and thankfully as yet no rain for them.

Just caught up with your previous link, to Tigerfastimages Gary. Stunning - just stunning. Thanks .
EJ back, talking quetly to Odin, can I have the eggs back please and Odin is off.
14.44 - EJ returns and has usual problem ejecting Odin the Watchful from the eggs:
EJ returns and prises Odin off the eggs ... he went a bit more willingly than yesterday which was SO funny!

It is comical, isnt it DjoanS ! He really seems to be quite settled and comfortable, & is very unwillng to go!
Thanks to all previous posts & pics: also thanks Gary for link to great pics of LOTL.
Ha ha ha ha DJoan - it really does look like she's giving a 'stage' whisper into Odin's ear ... something like ...''You'd better get off, or else !! ''
Here is the change over between Odin and EJ. As usual, he is reluctant to move!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWfcYVOTTJ8About 3mins 27 secs in (sorry, don't know how to edit!) EJ does a fly past the nest, left to right, circles and then lands
OK, need to start my day!! Catch up later everyone:)
Gary thanks for the clip Odin not so reluctant to leave. Sound as though the rain has arrived now so perhaps Odin knew and decided he had better try and find somewhere a bit dryer.
