  • Yes, Sheila, Odin has been around twice that I know of, but I don't know about fish.

    Thank you for liking my poem

  • Another check to make sure all is well!

    And having checked, she rechecked, then settles again.

  • Just back from a cycle to a pub for lunch, and see that not much has changed since I last posted!  EJ sitting in the sunshine, dozing occasionally and looking north again. No obvious sign of Odin.  She checks her eggs, turning them perhaps and settles back down after a quick preen.

    Sorry, off topic but when I read "dawn comes up like thunder" I immediately thought Rudyard Kipling's poem (part of his "Barrack room" collection according to Wikipedia).  I remember hearing a rather rousing recording when I was growing up in the UK. 

    MANDALAY

    By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' eastward to the sea,
    There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me;
    For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:
    "Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!"

    CHORUS
    Come you back to Mandalay,
    Where the old Flotilla lay:
    Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay?
    On the road to Mandalay,
    Where the flyin'-fishes play,
    An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay      (  ...and lots more)

    And oh, yes, thanks for pix of EJ and Odin. Off I go.

     

  • Am I right in thinking there is still no sound at LG?   Lovely to see EJ in the afternoon sun.  Will catch up with the posts in a minute. Couldn't get on last night, kept coming up with "server error."

  • Just been reading the posts.

    Heron and Annette - wonderful dawn pics of EJ and the light.  She certainly looked like she had frost on her back.

    Lindybird - lovely poem.

    EJ looks contented catching 40 winks.

  • Lynette: That was Cirrus who brought us such a nice poem today; I think she borrowed Lindybird's poetry hat!  :-)

  • Quick pop back before going to work . Nest still the same. Such a shame about the sound.

    Thank you Annette - a brief moment of inspiration   :)

    It's still EJ on the nest - anyone know about fish?

  • odin brings in a fish, takes over on the nest
