Evening all. Good grief. We already have color at LG. EJ is on the nest; all looks peaceful.
Lynette: You asked Gary where he's located. He did answer you the first time around (Saturday?), but seems you either missed it or the posts got messed up. Anyway, you asked again yesterday and Emma responded; then Gary responded again (he said he wasn't ignoring you!). Anyway, Gary is in Connecticut in the Eastern U.S., but he's a Brit, like me! (Sorry if this all sounds complicated)
Odin with his back to us, looking round, maybe he can see EJ or an intruder! And in flies EJ chirping to Odin, who is reluctant to get up. Communicating with each other, lovely, he then gets up and is off and EJ begins to settle on the eggs.

Lovely bit of interaction as EJ returns. Would love to know what they say to each other.
I just came back, as EJ came forward on the nest to sit on the eggs again:

Thanks to Gary for nice bit of film of fish delivery - she was certainly excited to see her dinner. It is always touching to see how very carefully Odin creeps across the eggs with those great big feet, to sit on them.
EJ rises from the eggs briefly, and eats something which was in the nest - a scrap of fish leftover? or was it a small bit of the bark which was discussed a few days ago?
It was a lovey bit of interaction betweein the two Annette - I was fortunate enough to catch that.

Yes, that was lovely Gary. Thank you.
