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.

Its feeding time yet again!!! Guess who is at the front again :-)) Where are they putting all that food!

Morning all: Just a quick hallo before I start doing stuff around the house. Back later.
One blessing of the bad weather is the intruders aren't willing to get cold & wet just to cause trouble

Odin has just arrived, no fish, EJ is telling him to go and get one. He at present is just standing on the nest, but now has flown, hopefully to get the supper.
Oui!
EJ was reaching down to settle the chicks under her when one "Pooed" and barely missed hitting her in the face .
Lets hope they don't lay with their tails facing the camera. Past chicks have been known to take direct aim at the camera lens and then we can't see anything until it rains to wash the lens :(
Chicks have been really well fed today and the weather forecast is good for tomorrow. Odin has been Magnificent as usual and I dont remember him spending so much time on the nest at this stage last year. EJ is fantastic with really regular feeding sessions. All in it is a joy to watch.

Thanks Alan have not been able to look in much today so I am really pleased the chicks have been well fed. I agree Odin does seem to spend more time on the nest this year. Earlier this afternoon he stood for quite a while with a fish which EJ seemed to decline but he waited quite a while before he flew off with it.

Couldn't agree more, Alan. We've even tuned in to a new station - radio redstart (I think).
