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.

Oh dear ... intruder re-appears as does EJ and the pair mantling and calling together. Odin flies off in pursuit ... EJ chirping on the nest .... eggs uncovered again. I wonder if its a pair of birds intruding and that's why it is taking both of them to defend the nest.

Odins calls were heard in the background and EJ still wary and calling but it has died down a bit. Still not sitting on the eggs.
Lovely closeup of eggs at LOtL at the moment.
I don't believe it ... EJ's still got her fish and she's eating it on the nest!
OH, I was wrong - the fish tail is still with EJ and she's noshing it in the nest! Wish Lady would do that
EJ eating on the nest, not leaving eggs.

EJ finishing her tail end of fish at edge of nest.
She's really scoffing that fish down. If an egg started to rock now we'd have a good view wouldn't we?
Yuck, fishtail down without chewing...
Lady is doing a bit of furniture arranging and cheeping to the eggs.
EJ now going to sit again.
