Yesterday's CATCHUP, including another whole fish for EJ and its return to Odin.
EJ came to the nest after a (probable) Pine Marten clunk was heard - she stayed on watch, perching as far out to the right as possible. This video begins with a clunk and ends with a squit:

Too late for me to add on to vigil vid, she checked around the nest and flew:

It's hard work growing eggs
Here I am, back again for however long ;)
EJ was almost sitting down in the eggcup, has slightly raised herself now.
I have to take a phone call.
EJ had a break from nest duty. Upon her return she entered the cup, and is there still.
She's calling. For fish or frolic?

As Odin landed, the fish went thru a curving motion as if it was a smallish nearly-whole one (as in one of you snaps, MOFFER) but otherwise is was very difficult to see.

Odin with softly rustling wings. Doesn't appear to have brought anything spectacular... if anything at all.
Good morning, all! Odin just landed looking alert. Also, his crop is full. EJ has begun tweeting.
