Well another day has begun and EJ has her head down for a bit of shuteye, but for how long, before the family stirs. Lets hope she gets a bit of sleep. Trying to get comfy again. Those chicks are growing fast.
Goodnight all, see you in the morning.
To those who don't realise, I have changed my avatar to one of EJ in the evening sun, 2.6.10. Couldn't resist it.

RSPB Giving Nature a Home
Couldn't find my OH in the garden - then came in here as I could hear 'feeding' noises and he was watching them being fed !!
They are all thoroughly full now, makes up for being hungry earlier today.
Barbara Jean - I think you are right! It will be interesting to see what happens when the chicks are a bit bigger and need more food ... will they be bullying like last year? I think Titch is another Garten. So far mealtimes have been very civilised :-)

I'm expecting fireworks later, DjoanS !!
EJ now sitting, or trying to sit, on the unruly chicks. All is peaceful. Here is the last pic of them on the still camera today:
Odin hauls in another one:
As I log on again, EJ shouting, and Odin obliges with a FISH. Super Odin. He doesn't stay long and is off again.
EJ begins yet another feed.
Odin delivers again! Titch is squeezed out at the back ... wonder how long before he/she gets in at the front?
I had hardly pressed send ... and Titch was at the front ... my question answered!
All three clamouring for food, Titch looks to be at the front. with #1 and#2 behind.
I'd love to know how Titch manages it every time ... and I wonder how long before #1 and #2 get fed up :-)
