Ej gave a gentle chirp and in flies Odin with another fish ... well done that bird! Chicks all straight up and in a line ... feeding nicely and I'm able to see this time.

2 great pics DjoanS. The 3 of them must be completely stuffed now and will probably fall over in a big heap and go to sleep.
As I type also watching Lady who has just had the enormous fish delivered and the 2 chicks there are going to stuffed too. (sorry wrong blog but just wanted to say that).

Is that the 'larder'? A spare fish in the foreground?

Afternoon jsb yes that is the remains of an earlier but Odin came in with another one which they have just finished eating. At the moment EJ does indeed have a larder to fall back on,
I am not sure JSB as I have been out all morning. EJ certainly took the fresh fish quick enough and ignored that, whatever it is. I recorded 1st 8 mins of last feed and I love the strategy of chick 3 getting in the middle of each feed.

Don't know exactly what went on during the whole feed but - These chicks are certainly NOT starving. I seen No1 go walkabout during feed, No2 was lying down but when EJ offered a bite it refused at least twice and probably most pleasing of all is that even Titch refused food. presumably all full up.
Hello Col - nice to see you on here. Looks warm at LG now, and EJ has just been moving the moss around a bit but is probably wondering how she is going to corral these chicks, after the antics of today and yesterday.
The chicks just cheeped a little, so EJ must have decided they needed feeding again!
all lined up nicely, taking it very gently from her beak.
After a few minutes, the two older chicks are flaked out, full. EJ goes on feeding little Titch for a while, then stops and scans the sky as if she's seen something. -------
SuperOdin has arrived with yet another FISH!
I don't believe it (ooops Victor Meldrew!) ... Odin landed with yet another fish .... and nobody is interested ... poor Odin ... he's best take it away and eat it himself :-))
