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:
2m07s
Too late for me to add on to vigil vid, she checked around the nest and flew:
IMAGICAT
He's still asleep. I hope he'll take it easy today.
Chest infections are horrible things. I had one in February and it was exhausting just trying to get from the bed to the bathroom, and back again!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
It's our twosome! EJ arrives first:
She is followed by her rampant mate:
We're back to ENS.
Have a good day, everyone!
Odin arrived with a big clunk but I couldn't see anything in his feet:
A short while after, EJ arrived and they mated, Odin flew. EJ was pottering and tripped, she may have dropped into the eggcup while walking.
Still problems here, I'm signing off, I don't expect to see a fish very soon so hopefully someone else will arrive to cover it.
Sleep well MC

Brief warning call to a very noisy Crow
Odin was flying around with EJ excitedly calling. He flew to the nest and I wasn't sure, but EJ grabbed it and made the right sounds before leaving, so..............FISH, at least part of @ 11am
I note that Odin has a nice full crop
