Ej is resting and trying to keep the chicks warm but they are getting quite big now and it makes it harder for her to keep them under her breast at night..
At least now she seems to be catching a quick nap.

And it is a big one. Odin didn't eat any of it . Everyone is getting their share with Titch in the middle getting pushed to the front LOL

EJ having a discussion with that huge piece of bark - looks like the bark is going to lose.
Feeding time for the chicks again from remaining fish.
I recorded 6 mins of the earlier feed at 19:35. Youtube took ages to process it:

Supper in the sun . Simply super footage Alan.
5th fish just delivered by Odin. Looked big.
Wow ... Odin delivers a late supper ... and its big ... so plenty should be left for more later!

All lined up ... out of the nest cup ... with #3 in the middle yet again ... and #2 getting plenty too!
Another fish !! And all three chicks are out of the nest cup to eat
EJ is saving a large part of the fish for later. All three chicks went back down to the nest cup when they saw EJ was done serving this meal.
Imagine if human children were so well behaved :)
