We, some of us anxiously, await the hatching of Osplet #2(#4) laid on 23 April. Osplet #1(#3) laid on 20 April is thriving, it will be a formidable elder sibling. Let's hope it takes after Star/Tore, who, whilst she didn't hesitate to put Storm/Bynack in his place, generally waited until she was bashed before she laid into him. Fond memories :-*
Today should be the day.
A little clucking came from under EJ a few minutes ago when she shifted:

Excellent news to start the day. Thanks for all the pics etc.
I could hear Odin, he has yet to meet his new chick face to face :-)
EJ preparing to feed #1, but gets in our way:
Good Morning, and how lovely to see TWO chicks now!! Congratulations EJ+Odin :-) and what a happy day for ALL at LG.
Thank you everyone for pics, videos and updates.

Yaaayyy! congrats EJ & ODIN. lovely to see 2nd chick at last. I just missed it having a skip delivered!
Thank you to everyone for pictures, posts and videos.
Just wanted to wish our lovely Moffer Many Many happy returns. You got what you wished for Moffer!
I suspect there maybe a new blog soon, but being half term they may be a tad busy.
Lovely news Richard and Team - bet your all celebrating.

Odin arrives - with fish??? - and off again.
I can't see, maybe he took away a piece of fish?
Yes, he picked up the silvery slither you can see in front of him here, I think it's a stick, and he seemed to give EJ a fleeting bash with it as he flew off. Not easy to make out what happened, all interpretations welcome :-)
Sylla. Loved your introduction to the thread!! :)
Great to heat that the chick arrived on time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Moffer. Or should that be JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE?

Your well-deserved prize was the glow that welled up when you posted the news, Bluejay ;-) You can relive the moment over and over :-)
Good morning all. Great news to see chick 2 safely hatched and a very happy birthday to Moffer! We're delighted you got the present you really wanted. Helen suggests chick 2 be called Bundle as that's what she thinks it looks like!
