Isn't it just amazing at LOTL justnow, 1st chick being fed so gently by mam whilst also viewing close up of second egg with a small hole, hatching shouldn't be too long. Trying to work but keep being distracted coz can't stop checking webcams, much more interesting than typing reports, not sure my boss would agree tho :o)

First chick on it's back and is not doing too well!!
How exciting. They are good parents and look very concerned.
Thanks Cirrus trying to ironing and watch at the same time. Certainly looks as though a further hatching is on the way, so don't want to miss the live action this time.

Is it my imagination or is there a crack (long-ish line type crack) on the egg in front of the one with the hole in it?
EDIT on the left at the pointy end of egg
In comes EJ after her break and chirps loudly to Odin to move and starts to put a large stick out of the way. Now she's putting it on him - telling him to get up and let me take over. He duly obliges and flies off. EJ takes a moment or two to settle down again - one of the big sticks is getting caught up in her tallons.
EJ returns after her long break and there is a short conversation, before EJ dumps a stick on Odin's back to make him move!

Afternoon short stuff it certainly is amazing and magical watching this story unfold. Both parents are on nest and I think the male was having a snack on the side of the nest. Trying to do ironing and watch at the same time in the hope I will see the second hatch live this time.
EJ has now settled down again after furniture arranging.
