EJ looking at the camera at the moment, watching what I think is a feather stuck on the lens? Just turned round and is just resting as best she can.
Happy watching to all the earlybirds.
Night, night, back in the morning.

They really are all peering over the barricades, looking. EJ is in the most wonderful condition now that she has moulted and had plenty of fish:
Must have been a fish delivery while I was out of here- EJ is feeding them now:
wonderful amount of squeaking going on !
Plenty for everyone - Titch in the middle as usual:
Lovely pics - Lindybird - keep popping in from the garden to check up on the happenings! They look almost stuffed ... can't even be bothered to stand up ... just stretching their necks forward to be fed ... wonderful :-))

That is EJ in above pic, by the way, just after intruder flew off.... she had to mind the chicks as they were all over the nest in different places.
Now she is very alert, looking all around....
Ten minutes later, the chicks are all asleep again but EJ dare not relax:
Now she is feeding them again, from the leftover fish:
