OK. So we're keeping a special eye out for Odin this morning..... Cirrus: I remember Odin bringing fish very early when I was watching the chicks last year - it's much lighter earlier then so that may account for it. jsb: Thanks for the info re EJ's (non-)returning chicks. BIrds must be a lot like us: We love to see our kids but aren't too keen on having them move back in and taking over the house.
Definitely Odin this time :)
Was that Odin who landed on EJ's back at about 14.12?

back so soon?? Call of nature then. C'mon girl . Let him sti for 20 mins
EDIT I see Odin must have fished the bark out of the egg cup
Both on nest at the moment talking to each other. EJ probably asking him to stay close so he can chase the ihtruder off.
EJ is back, Odin doesn't seem to want to move. EJ is trying her best to get him up and is gently pushing him with her feet. Still doesn't want to go - oops he's up and away. EJ settles again.

eggs
Was it Odin on the eggs and EJ who landed on his back?
Odin doesn't want to give up the eggs ... another "get off my eggs" moment! I love it when EJ gets her feet under him & kicks him off.

I recorded both these 2 switches. Had to laugh at the "bark" incident:

Thanks Alan for videos of the switches. They are both quite comical, Don't know what Odin was thinking about with the bark but after trying to sit on the eggs he got rid of it anyway. The nest clip is classic EJ getting him off again, almost looked as though she pecked his back gently and then shoved in him off with her talons.
Its been quiet as it should be but EJ is now calling, probably wants a comfort break.Will watch the videos in a minute Alan, thanks for them.
