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.

Odin certainly was quite exicited. EJ looked as if she was wondering what all the fuss was about. Chicks now resting but for how long? LOL
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
The chicks seem to do nothing but eat and sleep (well maybe an occasional play fight) so it's no wonder they're growing so fast. And it seems their colours are changing too, or is that my imagination?
I'll be away from my computer all day tomorrow and again on Sunday (competing with my dogs) so please, folks, keep the posts and pics coming in so I can catch up in the evenings. Ta in advance.
If anyone has recorded a clip of this scene you will see Odin looking down and complaining where the left over fish had been laying before EJ fed it to the chicks. As he scavenges about the nest looking for scraps he is food soliciting
They "had" a fish sharing arrangement and now there is none left for him LOL

Oh no! Been away for an hour and missed an Odin strop!! I've noticed he has been less reticent this year in talking back to EJ. I thought he wasn't best pleased at the tail-end he received from the previous fish - this time he didn't get any at all, no wonder the toys were out of the pram!
Late evening family scene, sun gone down, chicks snoozing and EJ being the perfect mum.
EJ is enjoying a bit of peace - late evening before night vision comes on.
Night cam's on.
That's called "getting your head down for the night"
Slightly off the beaten track but I couldn't resist changing my avatar to one of EJ in the evening light - it was taken on the 2.6.10. She is gorgeous.
