The nest now with EJ asleep and the nest quiet. Will tomorrow bring another egg?© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild
Yesterday began with an intruder trying to mate with EJ [video by scylla] and a handsome suitor bringing a large fish for EJ but she told him off and he left. Then Odin hauled a half fish around while defending the nest so it wasn't until later that EJ managed to get a bite. However, the day progressed to a more routine domestic scene complete with mating, and head-trodding and stick deliveries on top of EJ. Odin seemed in a frenzy of building up the nest to the point of burying poor EJ. A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.... ;-*

And there's an intrusion of unknown type.

Good morning Patily.
Birdies LG DU update.
Something is going on they are both disturbed, Odin flying and calling. I can't see the egg either?
Odin appears for Clare to start her adoration!
Looks quite serious... but I think it's corvid.
Looking again is that a fish EJ is holding?
UPDATE. Yes she is tucking in now. (0726)
Hi MIKE and SCYLLA

Pretty sure it was corvid-related - see the black bird behind EJ, then Odin (probably) flashes after it, hardly seen.

She's been really enjoying it, sweet-tweeting happily.
Good morning, PATILY :)
