Night vision is a lot clearer but only just visible. You can make out EJ on the nest.
Happy viewing to you all from lands afar - keep us posted for later.
Having said that, EJ seems to be catching up on her sleep. Chicks have stopped chunnering so maybe she can get a bit of kip.

EJ took a comfort break. While she was gone there was maneuvering space for the chicks. Titch staked out the spot at about 11 o'clock on a clock because that is where Odin lays the fish that he brings to the nest LOL . Smart chick

Barbara Jean you are right definitely a smart chick and another Garten in the offing.

Odin brought a large fish, but it is raining quite hard so EJ refused to get up to take it. He flew off with it.
Odin flies in with a good-sized fish - EJ doesn't get up ... possibly because it is raining. Odin has a bite or two and then takes the fish away.

Heard a lot of calling and walked back into the living room to see Odin on the nest with a fish. He then flew away with it. I guess EJ was telling him the chicks are full enough. Weather is chronic at LG just now.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
That did look like a good sized fish, DjoanS. Its raining hard now, and poor EJ is trying to get some rest and protect the chicks at the same time:
Just logged on again. Thanks to all for delightful pics and the video clips. We are so privileged to be able to watch this family growing up.
Poor EJ looks sodden at the moment, rain has been falling but seems to have eased a little at the moment.
Poor EJ and the chicks. This weather reminds me of about 70% of weekend Scout camps as a boy. Generally heavy showers interuptted by periods of heavy rain.

EJ starts to feed the chicks:
