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.... ;-*

Morning Mike. Yesterday was pretty much the same with the crows.
Good morning Moffer and all. Odin has just shown the egg, how kind of him.

SYL Scylla. Have a good rest.
Odin has flown
EJ's back with chirrups
Good morning, all! Her Beautifulness is looking tired:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
