Well it is still raining and poor EJ after almost a midnight feast for her and the chicks it started again.
Do hope today proves to be better than yesterday although listening to the rain you do wonder.
Good morning to all you who watch from overseas and keep us informed whilst we are in our beds.
Goodnight from me and goodnight from EJ.

Super ODIN has just brought in a whole fish, EJ is eating and feeding the chicks as well.
Its a bit disconcerting to see that the poor fish is still flapping, at least it was for a while:
Little titch is in the middle make sure he/she gets a share. EJ is so even with distributing the fish, wonderful mum.
Its great to see, Lynette, that there is plenty for all and as you say, EJ is doing a great job:
All back under Mum to keep warm, now, with their tummies full of the freshest fish ever.
That dratted eggshell still seems to be on the nest, can see it on the left hand side but at least its not still under EJ when she sits down.
EDIT Three cheers for Odin the Magnificent !!
True enough, its at the side not like the one at LOTL where the chicks have to settle down on top of the unhatched egg. Could be a bit uncomfortable.
Well, both families have settled down for their afternoon nap. Hope EJ and Lady get a bit of peace and rest before the next feeds.
EJ looking round towards the camera, has she spotted something out there. Now turned to face the trees, but no she is back looking over her shoulder as though something has caught her eye. Brooding the chicks and keeping them warm and dry from the damp conditions. She looks a lot dryer than yesterday, though.
What has caught your eye, EJ??
I was having a nap, myself when I heard 'feeding noises' - another bit of fish each:
- don't know if Titch got as much as the others, but he/she was stlll shouting when EJ sat down again.
Lovely, just got on here in time to see all 3 being fed, first time I've seen them all.
