Good morning/night to all you early birds across the globe.
EJ looks peaceful on the nest with chirps now and again from the chicks
See you all in the morning.

The intruder landed on EJ and tried to mate with her! She saw it off while still protecting the chicks.

Intruder makes two serious attempts to land on nest. EJ mantles and shreiks and drives intruder off.
Perhaps its not a male and that was a female attacking ... oh dear ... Odin where are you?
------- and again. This is a determined intuder...........
All quiet for the moment ... Ej isn't alarm calling now .... I hope she's seen it off. This is doing nothing for my blood pressure ....... probably isn't doing much for hers either .... if birds have blood pressure that is!
Oh dear, I've been eating and missed more drama. Do hope Odin returns soon.
Me too Lindybird and as DjoanS says it doesn't do much for our blood pressure. Come back Odin and preferably with a fish.

Hi all,
sounds like EJ had a time of it earlier. All seems quiet just now apart from an odd wee chirp. I;m assuming Odin off fishing. How many fish have they had today?
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Spike Milligan
He's been fishing - good ol Odin - headless of course
EJ tucking into it and also about to feed chicks.
Odin arrives with a fish which EJ eagerly takes and feeds to the chicks
