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.)
EJ doing a ducking of head movement and watching as though something is afoot! Could be just trying to get out of the wind. Spoke too soon about feathers, they are getting ruffled. It looks as if the sun is out at LG.

Odin swoops in with some nesting material and to give EJ a break. Has a good look at the eggs before settling on them:
Turned round yet again and facing the wind. Generally looks peaceful. Its Odin is it - good boy!

I heard 'peeping' from the other room & came in to see EJ trying to persuade Odin to relinquish the eggs! In the end she resorted to the 'foot under body' technique :-)

Thanks DjoanS. I love your phrase, ' the foot under body technique '.

EJ calling now, got up arranged eggs, sat down and carries on calling. Probably wants supper before the cold night ahead.
