Yesterday was marred by bothersome corvids and (whilst also quite amusing) heavy, grass clumps barring access to the eggcup. It all worked out in the end tho. Videos here.
EJ has had at least 4 stand-ups at the back of the nest, despite it being quite windy. The last time she looked rather alert:
She was settled contentedly immediately prior to cam failure:
Cam went down @ 0325hr. I've emailed Carnyx and LG.

Odin having a nibble on the bark

Thank you for working your magic this morning, Chris T!!
Morning Clare and Rusty, and thank you Scylla for starting us off once more.
Odin has taken over incubation from EJ - I don't think there was a fish delivery, I merely saw a change-over. There is a weak sun which comes and goes, the wind has dropped, but it is still there as a gentle breeze. Odin is still worrying about the moss and grass which has fallen into the cup, and is getting under his beak!
And neither is he happy with the large piece of bark he brought in, was it y'day or the day before.
and now he is sorted 10.42

Hello Moffer, you weren't there when I started my previous post!
Hi, Sheila! He's looking quite happy with life:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Hi Clare - I hope Limpy is feeling better today
He's still coughing a bit but he's sounding much better. Today is the last day of the antibiotics so I hope he stays better!
What are you looking at, Gorgeousness?
I must say Odin looks rather pleased with himself surrounded by his clods LOL....

Odin has a shuffle around, picking bits out of the cup, which is so deep, I can't see the egg.

You've set a precedent now, Chris - we have high expectations of you ;-)
Seriously tho - thank you for that and for dropping us a line :)
SHEILA - yes, no fish - EJ flew seconds before Odin landed.
