Hi to all night owls and those across the water.
EJ looks peaceful on the nest - just having a fidgit and moving the eggs around but otherwise all is well.
Happy watching and see you in the morning.

I think Odin has to do a "nose dive" when he gets on the eggs as the nest cup is "EJ size" and he is smaller:)

Gary thanks so much for the vid. The close bond between EJ and Odin so touching. I love the way they communicate with each other. Odin does like a tidy house though he is always moving the furniiture around.

you're right Margobird, it is great to watch.
He does like a tidy house, one stick he moved most of the way round the nest!
Back again, its heartwarming to see them together. I take it Odin is still sitting, no one has reported a changeover again.
Still very windy at LG. Cold and dull down here in Northants and it looks like it'll stay like this for the rest of the week according to the weather forecast.
Odin looking round,perhaps can sense EJ is about
EJ just returned to take over the eggs ... and oh dear .. it's hailstones now ... poor EJ!

Odin looking round and in comes EJ cheeping to him to get off the eggs. He duly obliges and EJ settles down again. They are really getting blown about. Starting to sleet or snow again and hitting the mike making a tinny sort of sound. Oh dear, EJ, keep those eggs well under you at the moment. Actually it looks like hail.
EJ came in and relived Odin just as it was starting to hail:(
EJ back and Odin flies off. It sounds as though there is a hail shower at the moment. That must be painful for her, she was looking around wondering what is going on.
EJ made a mistake returning to take over as the hail comes down.
