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.... ;-*

Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
Down again :o((
As you can see we are live again. A big thanks to Chris for going back to work!
Back up without sound. I'll reboot.
Many thanks Chris and Peter.
Thanks Chris!
EJ is taking a break from making a grass skirt, to call to Odin
20.10 EJ calls to Odin. He flys over with something in his talons, but doesn't land. Fish?
He circles around. Headless FISH @ 20.10
and he lands on EJ, of course
As she gets up, Odin flys off with the fish!!
The new lump of grass falls over the cup
It takes EJ until 20.13 to clear the cup, and find egg
at last EJ reaches egg
20.32 Odin brings the FISH back.
EJ flies briefly and on her return, claims the fish
she leaves
