EJ spent a lot of time on the campost yesterday, possibly due to the presence of the pesky varminty Pine Marten - who is still keeping her up now!
Slo-mo extract from last evening's pop-up (thank you to MARY and SHEILA for telling me what was in my own video ;-) )

Thanks for starting the new thread scylla. It seems to me that this pine marten is a real threat to this nest.

I agree. Maybe it's been ensconced for months and EJ is the intruder :(
Heard some geese just now.
Goodnight.
Morning scylla thanks for starting the new thread. I wonder if Odin will arrive today. I hope that pine marten will get the hint and go.
Good morning, TWINKLE - you and me both :)
EJ had a 5-minute check and flew @ 0210hr - nearly a 6hour vigil! (VLC didn't keep going very long, so there was no sound while I slept.)
At 0434hr I heard a noise from the nest but nothing appeared.
Talking of sound, I've just realised that since I restarted VLC it is no long broken into by silences, I now have a steady hiss-hum.
Raspy quacky critter is out there.
Morning Scylla and All
The nest is empty at the moment. I thought the Pine Martin would have gone once EJ started to scare it off yesterday, lets hope that once Odin gets back it might decide to go elsewhere.

By the way I am just getting a low hum on the PC on Chrome. Will try another browser to see if it makes any difference.
Here she is:

Now up on the campost.
Good morning, MARY :)

I get no sound in Chrome. I can get sound in Firefox on "this" laptop, but not the recording laptop, where I cannot play the Carnyx screen at all - same OS, synced Firefox, no extra security software... cannot understand it :'(
