Good morning/night to all you early birds across the globe.
EJ looks peaceful on the nest with chirps now and again from the chicks
See you all in the morning.

Odin on the nest, EJ shouting at him, go fish man. He' just standing there with a deaf ear.
He's got the message and flown off.
Hello, been out today so thanks for all the wonderful pics and posts.
EJ is chirping (at Odin?).
Thanks everyone. Lovely pictures:)
thanks Jane, I still have no clue what is what in the middle of the nest.!
Odin came to visit. He stayed quite a while . At first EJ was softly peeping at him. She did most of the talking. Then she started her food solicitation call, but not loud or aggressively. Sort of like "Do you think we should eat soon ? The kids will be hungry soon " He flew off. Now she is food soliciting so he must be near by

Golly --- EJ flew off for a comfort break, leaving the nest empty momentarily:
then Odin appeared on the nest, closely followed by EJ who told him to 'go get fish!'
Then Odin flew off, hopefully on another fishing mission - now EJ is sitting on the chicks and egg again, as she sat down you could hear the empty eggshell still there bashing against the unhatched egg.
EDIT; As far as I can see, there is definitely one egg still unhatched to the right of the 2 chicks in the above pictures.
Off to work now . Odin - bring a fish
It would help if EJ would dispose of the empty shells :)
