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.

Afternoon DjoanS lovely pic of EJ she really is looking beautiful. The chicks seem to have been eating most of the say, no wonder they have collapsed in a heap now. EJ tidying up, building up the right hand side of the nest as we look.
Have posted the following on weekly chat but thought I would put it here as well. Latest news about Hope:-

Been off air so catching up, thanks for all the pics and news of a new blog. EJ has just had a wrestling match with some twigs. One she managed to put over Titch but it has now been moved. Settled down again, but for how long before those chicks want to get up and play!!!
Such a picture of utter contentment!

All three chicks flaked out and EJ keeping a watchful eye.
Sitting here looking at the chicks and laughing, look at the state of them, absolutely stuffed. Smallest sort of sitting underneath EJ, well they were but EJ just left the nest calling as she went. Wonder if the intruder is around but I would have thought she would stay there if that was the case. Smallest chick looks as though he/she is dreaming, just like a baby twitching. Probably dreaming of more fish lol.
EJ called loudly then off for a comfort break, just telling the chicks she won't be long. They are playing dead whilst she has an extended break.
Hmmm Odin arrives with a fish and no welcoming commity! EJ had left for a fly about. Now he's calling...
Ah. Here she comes and chicks are waddling over for - tea? supper?
Back she comes and starts chirping to say she's back, or is the intruder about. Maybe calling for Odin. Standing there and sounds like alarm calling, quietening down now. Odin flies in, the chicks begin to wake. Fish.!! EJ starts to feed again whilst Odin stands guard. #1 has decided to wake up and goes over to mum.
Odin flies off.
15.22 and another fish delivery and just guess who was up the front. Oldest was not interested to begin with but had a poop over the side and has now joined the queue.
