If you think that less than 6 full pages for yesterday's DU means that it was quite an uneventful day with no dramas... you are right. That's how it should be while those osplets take shape in EJ and Odin's precious eggs.
It's a quiet night so far.

EJ is calling
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
She has flown
Odin takes over nest duty. (First snap. The small white speck in the distance, to the left of Odin is EJ landing, and I think that's the fish perch.)
EJ's back with loud continuous chirping, and a thick branch.
Odin's flown.
Morning Moffer, and those posting earlier. Loved the various vids, Scylla. Such hilarity raised by EJ's early morning poop!! What a shame about the intruder. But well done Odin on the breakfast fish.
12.12 EJ returned, carrying a large stick/small broken branch
I think she either swiped Odin with the stock or dropped in on him, before moving it to the front of the nest
Odin got up as she sorted the stick
and then flew off. EJ resumed incubation
The stick will be a lovely perching perch for Odin, and the chicks when old enough!!

Odin has landed alarm chirping and defending the nest
Intruder can be seen in the skyline on the left
Would you want to mess with this guy????
12.55 Odin lands and intruder calls. EJ remans lying down.
Odin flaps and calls.
He's flown in persuit.
