~ 16:00 Samson brought half a fish for Gabrielle, that she ate on nest, then she flew off.
Samson took over incubation until she returned ~ 18:00 to take over the night shift.
~ 5:30 am poor Gabby couldn't sleep well, the whole night she was bothered by gnats.
I hope the gnats will not affect babies when hatched.

17:22 Samson can be heard landing somewhere on the left,
Gabby is looking at him, hope he is ok
17:23 Gabby still looks at Samson, the Intruder turned around on the branch,
also looking at Samson now, all are calling
17:23 Intruder flies off to the right
Oh no, another attack, above, midair, almost out of sight. One went down, one is on a branch above, Gabby on the eggs is screaming. The one from above flies down, following the other.
Cam scans to the ground, but nothing to see from Samson and the intruder. All quiet.
Gabby looks around and backwards.
17:37 Gabby is calling excitedly, she sees someone, cam is panning again to the ground on the left, an eagle is calling, too. I hope it is Samson and he is not injured

18:04 Samson is back, safe and sound 
well done, Samson and Gabby 
AEF NEFL Eagle Nest Chat:
jd_AEF (Moderator): Sam and Gabby announcing it is 8 pm and all is well in the Hamlet.
jd_AEF (Moderator): Gabby up at 8:40 pm to roll eggs and she and Samson have another conversation about their night. ♥ She is back down again.
gretchen_AEF (Admin): Sunday Tuck-In: Whew, it wasn't a usual calm day in the Hamlet today. Most of the afternoon Gabby was in the nest vocalizing and Samson was perched on LOP. It’s unusual they would both be at the nest together all afternoon. It was apparent they (Gabby especially) was irritated about something. There was likely an intruder in the area but not approaching the nest. . .until chat. The intruder flew into Samson with a purpose. They both flew off. (continued)
gretchen_AEF (Admin): Then Gabby flew off as well, as she knew they were chasing the eagle out of the nest area and could safely and briefly leave the eggs. Our Samson was quite the hero and has remained perched faithfully guarding his precious cargo. At this time Samson is preening and Gabby is exhausted. This is our first intruder encounter this season. Let's hope it's the last! They have both proven they can handle adversity with success. We expect it to be a peaceful night. SED to our Hamlets and to all! ❤
21:28 all again fine in the pine
you both deserve a good peaceful sleep now
Good night everybody

Gabby's a little tired.
"Gabrielle's parental instincts and perseverance are once more on full display during a storm at the NEFL nest last night. It started out with the wind, then the rains came and she was drenched but kept her NE22 and NE23 safe and warm throughout. At 1:06 am she finally stood up and shook off the rain, rolled her sweet eggs, and back to sleep, keeping them ever safe!"

Intruder nearby. Gabrielle toughly defends nests and eggs.

...and Gabby seems to have very good instincts. Even as she watched over the spawn of Romeo and Juliet. Although it wasn't her eggs. 
She seems to be a very balanced and good girl.

Samson was on egg duty while a shower went down, he was soaked wet, but kept the eggs warm and dry. He called out for Gabrielle, flew off, returned quickly as long as Gabrielle had not come yet.
10:03/04 egg talk
possible pip soon ??
10:19 Samson back on eggs - again egg talk, loud
10:25 big Beauty Gabrielle came in for the change - Samson flew off having his break
