Hi everyone and especially to Annette in SoCal - have posted a last note that I was starting new thread, hope that helps.
As you can guess, its raining or has been raining and EJ is soaked but managing to keep the wee ones undercover. I'm not sure how many fish were delivered yesterday but there were a few.
Rain seems to have eased and EJ is having a little stretch at the moment.
Happy watching to all of you around the globe. See you in the morning.

Just logged on, so morning all. Thank you for all your posts and pics, just read through them. There is still a fish on the nest but at the moment its raining or is that sleet fuzzing up the camera lense. EJ keeping her head down at present and just the occasional cheep from the chicks.
She's not feeding them at them at the moment as its still raining.
Still very damp at LG, a wriggle now and then from EJ as she tries to get comfy.
Catch up later, have to go out.
Morning everyone and thanks for the updates. Good to see that there have been 2 fish already this morning. Just wish this weather would change for them. Wet and cold weather is not good for the young chicks.
Another top-up from leftover fish!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Frustrating that EJ is in front of the camera this time.
Lots of noises from both Mum and chicks today - they are enjoying their meal:
Chicks get full up, and huddle together in a tangle again, to keep warm. EJ eats some of the fish herself, keeping back a piece for later.
Then she tries and fails as usual to get on top of the huge brood....

Doesn't seem five minutes since we were saying we had 200 members.
EJ arose, clucking, even though the chicks seemed to be asleep - she is waking them and feeding them again with the fish remains.
Time for another "little something" - I assume it's still the tail end of the earlier fish - it was big one.
