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:
IMAGICAT
Morning! Just clicked on - EJ is eating more fish, and Wotadin is calling for a share from the nest cup
Success - EJ feeds some fish to the chick

I was in the kitchen, rushed in when I heard EJ and at first glance thought she had the chick caught in her foot *eek* ;-D
You beat me to it CHOCO Good Morning EJ starting to feed little Wotadin He/she hasn't got a sibling yet
'Morning SCYLLA
I detected slight movement in the egg but as said already, it could be being nudged.
EJ now settled to brood after feeding Wotadin. Regretfully no sign of a crack as far as I can see.

Chapter Two. Feeding.
One for me and ....
One for me.
One for me and...
What's that?
Uh-uh, it's one for me.
One for me and ...
Oh yes, another for me.
Ok, then greedy, here you go. Now shut up.
Even though W is asking for more, mum thinks its enough She has a few bites herself and then settles down to brood again
Watching Mrs 5R when she first started feeding and then EJ....it seems to take them a few trials before they get their hand (beak) in to get the distance right between them and the chick(s)
0706hr feeding session for Wotadin:
