Well another day begins with the night-time. EJ is fidgiting again and rolling the eggs although the chicks sound quiet now and Lady at LOTL is having a moment - fidgiting a bit but now settled down.
All you early watchers I hope you find that EJ's 1st chick will have hatched. Capture it if you can and we will find out in the morning.
Goodnight all.

Another great view of our new arrival :o) Lovely squeaky noises too, so sweet :o)
Better captures than mine Sandy. Thanks
When EJ stood up to stretch I saw the empty shell IS still on the nest The crunching sound maybe the empty shell cracking under her weight
Chick #1 is putting up a fuss about not being fed . I hope Odin brings a fish soon
The chick has it's head out and is holding it up very well. That chick will be hard to keep under wing :)

It's already tidying up the nest!!
Looks fit and healthy to me - it's got a good pair of lungs on it.
Well gotta go now but if the sun isn't too strong for the pic, here's the chick playing 'peek a boo'. See you all later ....
Can anyone hear a strange noise above the chicks cheeps??
Ahhhh ... isn't the chick just so sweet ... and so squeaky! I had to make a quick trip to the garden centre, so thanks for your comments and pics. I wonder if its as hot there as here ... 22C already ... amazing.

Our chick certainly wants to see the outside world and what its all about, she's beautiful.
I'm sure the chick is saying "Where's Dad".
