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.

I think we should get Odin and EJ to have a word with some of the Internet Service Providers. LOL
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.

I have been away since Friday morning, so it is lovely to see the camera back on and I am astounded at how big the chicks have become. It is so easy to forget their rapid growth.
Thank you so much for all your pictures and commentary.
Feeding time.
I didn't see a fish delivery.
EDIT: It was the tail end of a fish and EJ has eaten the tail. Chick 3 seems to be sat on by No 1.
Morning, All. Thanks for overnight comments and pics. Nice to see that EJ is in the dry, as some parts of UK are damp today.
Odin visits, but no fish.
Odin arrived and immediately began alarm calling. EJ joined in but did not get up, Odin flew off to challenge something....
Just had a quick peek at the cam - and the nest was being defended by an unringed male that wasn't Odin!!!
How bizarre.
Both birds on the defensive: something is definitely worrying them, Odin came back briefly but then they both wing flapped again and he flew off to see whatever it is, off.
