Evening all. Quiet on the nest.
Odin on the eggs:
i love to see Odin egg sitting, he just looks so contented. A really happy father to be. Hope EJ takes her time and has a little time to herself.

My goodness ... EJ back already ... she didn't take long to eat that fish! Now demanding her eggs back :)) She actually shoved him off!!

DjoanS the change overs are gettting more and more comical with Odin not wanting to move. As you say EJ did shove him off. I love the way she really gets right up close almost in his face this time to make him understand she wants the eggs back.
Margobird, that last changeover was really funny ... she gave him a sideways shove to remove him ... not the usual feet under his body ... and there was no gentle 'peeping' beforehand either!
Morning all: Sounds like EJ isn't wasting time on the niceties in terms of taking over the eggs. Hope she doesn't start taking Odin for granted. :-))
As usual I was doing other things so missed the fish delivery. Thanks Alan for the clip. At least she has had something to eat today. Let's hope Odin delivers one this evening.
I agree, changeovers do get quite comical at times, nearly always EJ the one to sidle up to Odin and gently pushing him so he gets up - its lovely to watch their comings and goings even if I miss them and catch up later. Seems settled now but still very windy Wet and windy in Northants today.

Just looking at LOtL and one of the birds has just got up and had a stretch with flapping of wings and has now settled down. It could have been a change over there, not sure.
Odin looks settled and is just waiting for our boy to return, hopefully with another fish.
EJ calling now, can she see Odin? Maybe he's gone fishin' again.
