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.... ;-*

Odin still looks fierce, EJ is asking for fish
Odin has flown
It's very windy indeed.
Odin's back
EJ is still asking for fish
Chasing Crows is hard work, big yawn.Odin has flown and back to mate, turning into a sit on EJ's back.
It's very quiet now, even the Crows have stopped calling. The only sound is the wind. I can't see Odin zooming around in the background. Perhaps he's fishing?
EJ has moved around, turned egg and is somewhat 'sprawled out'
EJ being disturbed - by the corvids, I think. I can hear them.
