Evening all. Good grief. Was about to say it's light already at LG and the cam just went down! (EJ was on the nest at the time.)

Hello Brenda I think you are right about needing a holiday, but yes I do feel so protective of both EJ and Odin.

Know how you feel, Brenda H as I've been on and off the phone whilst this has been going on... luckily my OH knows what the weird sound effects are when he is on the other end!
Thanks Gary and Alan. As I said I missed the actual delivery. LG may say they can go 2 days, but that was certainly a very hungry EJ from where I am watching.
Linda, you have just made me think. EJ was screamimg as I was signing for the parcel. I could hear her, so he must have heard the same. Maybe I just wait for the police.
After being out this morning, I am catching up with the news and it's great to see that Odin at last delivered a fish. Watched Alan's clip - great - head still on so she's got one of the most nutritious parts of it. I take it Odin is still sitting.

Odin keeps fidgiting on the eggs, can he feel movement from them and that is why he keeps moving. Still very windy up there but at least it looks fine at the moment.
Think Odin finds it harder to be comfortable on the nest - as has been said, he is a bit slimmer than EJ so doesn't fit the same! Just heard some rain on the microphone.
Odin gets up again, and shifts the eggs a little, then sits down facing a different way - he doesn't look quite as comfortable today but then the wind is blowing now, too.
BARBARA jEAN the centre at LG have the first hatching down as 21st May. Just hope the weather has improved greatly by then. It is extremely cold here today with a fair bit if hail, no doubt will be colder still at LG.
Odin just moving round again and it is turn to sit out the rain and wind, sounds awful just now.
