Pitch dark on the nest right now, but can make out EJ.
It's no wonder the chicks are growing so fast when you see the amount of food they are all putting away!

I've never had so much fun in ages, watching this lot!
---look at me, I'm nearly flying !!
EJ looking around, as one of the chicks tries to escape again !
Well, after that last gorge, EJ is settling them down , or trying to with one, no two trying to get out from under her. She's not having much luck at trying to brood them at the moment. Fiesty little ones don't want a nap, they want to play. or the osprey equivalent.
EJ seems to have quietened them down a bit and is now trying to gather them under her breast.

Even when she sits down, one is still looking around:
--no, make that two!
It will be interesting to see if Odin steps up the number of sticks he fetches in the next few days - they're gonna need them soon.
The wind seems to have got up and EJ is sitting on the nest shielding her brood, with one little one not content to be under her but prefers to be outside. Peaceful scene.
THANKS Alan for the video of the feed.!
EJ Is feeding them AGAIN
Where do they put it ?
Have you noticed that Titch is fed first ? This may be an interesting nest hierarchy
Sheesh ---Odin just delivered ANOTHER fish. EJ took it and is feeding the chick more

And yet again, EJ is feeding them. Before we know it they will be twice or three times as big as they were when hatched. She really is doing a fantastic job of making sure they are regularly fed.
WONDERFUL
I can't believe it ... feeding time again!!
