Hi everyone.
Wasn't watching at the time but heard a commotion. Still raining, chicks and eJ were excited over something but have settled down again. Chicks can be heard chirping away whilst EJ tries to keep them dry and warm , getting soaked herself.
I'll say night, night, happy viewing.

FISH
Odin stands guard while EJ feeds the chicks - now he's shouting !!
Great excitement on the nest as Odin delivers afternoon tea! ... and shouts at an intruder. Looks a big fish.

Odin just delivered a large fish . All lined up to eat with Titch in the center, Odin standing guard and screeching to ward off any intruders
The fish is large enough there should be plenty for EJ too

Odin has gone off to see off any intruder threat - he has a piercing warning shout.
That is a lovely big fish, so should do for a while and maybe some left over for Odin!
Morning all: Just arrived in time for fish delivery and now Odin has left. Busy today, back to check pix and posts later. Thanks all.
Odin has just arrived with FISH...........EJ up and immediatley starts feeding them. Chicks all eager to get their share and the line up is #1 #3 #2 . Odin stays for a few moments proudly standing at the edge of the nest. He starts shrieking as thoujh the intruder is around.
He is off after seeing the chicks being fed.
Nice sized fish 3:15.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
We should never doubt wonderful Odin should we, has just arrived with a whopper but picture keeps freezing for me even so I can hear the excitement and hopefully they will all get a feed. He stood there for a rew seconds admiring his children and then flew off.

I see what one means about the golden nape now, also it looks like the pin feathers are beginning to arrive.
