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)
Just been watching for a little while and EJ is very 'twitchy' on the eggs tonight ... I wonder if she feels the movement inside the eggs.

Absolutely glorious scene at LG. EJ enjoying the late evening sunshine:
Thanks Sandy. Beautiful evening sunshine, casting shadows around EJ on the nest.
Thanks, Sandy. Doesn't she look beautiful?
She certainly does, Lindybird.
Now she's calling quite gently - can there be another delivery from Odin.
EJ flies off and within seconds Odin swoops in to take over the egg-sitting!
EJ flies off for a break, Odin flies in seconds later:
Oh, I went out for a 'comfort break' myself, to come back & find Odin just settling down! No fish then?
EJ was certainly becoming more desperate to leave the nest. She leaves and Odin appears and sits on eggs.
Odin perfectly at home on the eggs ... and isn't it lovely not to hear the wind blowing a gale at LG!
