EJ is laying on her nest and looks like she is having contractions
She is facing the camera
EDIT While I was typing she turned around and is fussing with something under her . Her back is to the camera
I just saw it WE HAVE AN EGG !!
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
Odin has brought a headless fish but EJ isn't tryinjg to take it for some reason. Don't understand what's going on here.
I notice that EJ has decided to begin her moult now.
Just read on the update that EJ has laid her first egg.
Now she is up and the egg is plain to see. Odin has arrived with a fish but they both can't make up their minds who is going to take over egg sitting and who is going to eat the fish. EJ has a feather loose.EJ has eventually gone back to sitting on the egg and Odin is hanging on to the fish. Gentle chirping now and again going on with Radio Chaffinch in the background.

Just read the back posts. Thanks Barbara Jean for being around when EJ laid her first egg of a new season and to our overseas bloggers who have kept us informed during our night. Lovely captures Auntie and all the rest of you.
At present it is a calm domestic scene with Odin still holding onto the fish and EJ sitting.
Odin alarm calling and looking anxious - somebody is around.
Really agitated and Odin has flown off presumably in persuit.
