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.

EJ looks out for fish delivery.

Morning all and thanks for all the overnight and morning reports and pics. Really pleased about the way things are going. I am off out shortly so will catch up later.
Thanks for the updates all - the little family are looking good this morning.

Well, it is getting on for 10 so I expect Odin will be along shortly with a fish delivery. They all seem to be looking quite tired still but EJ is looking around expectantly.
I was just about to go out of the door when I heard EJ screeching ... intruder alert ... calling and mantling

So do I Margobird. At the moment it looks like she's sheilding them from the sun and not mantling, while they doze.
Quita peaceful scene at present, chicks still sleeping off the last meal and EJ watching over them.
All looks peaceful here, Manton Bay, Cumbria, and LOLT. Will look in later on.
#1 (Ithink) and #3 up and looking at EJ expectantly as if to say "Any lunch?". #2 (?) still dozing. I was just looking at #1's feet - they are enormous already!!!
Has Odin gone on strike?
