Hi to all early morning watchers. Looks peaceful at the moment at LG.
EJ sitting and perhaps dozing off from time to time. Got to get her beauty sleep before the young ones arrive.
All peaceful at LOtL as well.

Well, she's finally got fed up waiting for Odin to do something, called loudly and flown off! Proud father-to-be back in position.
Now did Odin fly off for that fish or did EJ finally get up and have a stretch. Was out of the room at the time.
I see from the previous posts that it is Odin back on the eggs. Maybe EJ has gone fishin for herself as he did not deliver.
Odin had better make the most of his egg-sitting these last few days before the eggs hatch, because I don't think EJ allows him to sit when they do hatch!

The way EJ was food soliciting I am sure Odin had a fish, Odin seems to think 10 A.M. or noon is early enough to go fishing for EJ.
EJ leaving in a huff was letting him know she expects to eat before noon LOL
I'll bet next time he comes to the nest he doesn't come with empty talons !

Yes you are right there. Odin's brooding duties end this week.
I have often wondered what happened when Ollie found himself a single father back in 1993 but no one has ever supplied an answer to that question.
When Pa the peregrine was left as a single father in De Mortel in 2007 he did brood chicks one night but did not in general.

EJ flies in with a big piece of bark and proceeds to move sticks. Odin then gets up and flies off.
She now settles down again on the eggs after furniture arranging.
EJ just came barging in with a piece of bark and rearranging twigs all over Odin and no fish. After a few swipes and a push from her leg down his back Odin flies off
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
EJ arrives with nest building material. She then wrestles with a big branch and dumps it over Odin who protests and then flies off!
EJ is back already. Odin didn't bring a fish so he didn't get much time on the eggs. That is " Tough Love"
She nearly stepped on him to get him off the eggs, He flew off hopefully to go fishing so he can have more time on the eggs :)
Good Morning.
I found that last escapade very funny. It was like watching an ancient slapstick silent movie.
