The wind had died down, no rain, hurah, and EJ is getting some kip with the occasional wriggle from the chicks.
Happy viewing to all our overseas watchers and see you in the morning.

--have begun to recognise that walk of EJ's - she certainly does it when she can see Odin arriving!
Thanks for pics, was out of the room organising our own 'feed of the day'.

She reminds me of a little "Air Traffic Controller" calling Odin in. LOL
Like the people at the Air Port with the wands backing up and waving the plane to the gate :)

I think the chick with more white on the side of it's head is chick #2.
The other older chick has more new dark & white spotted feathers on it's back.
The both have auburn feathers on their necks.
I'll try to study those features, Barbara Jean. I expect that they will be easier to distinguish when they are older.
All sitting in the sun now, at the end of a good day for fish, and no rain.
-Air Traffic Controller ! Ha Ha! v. funny

No, ALICAT, 5 fish up to now.
It must be getting cooler. EJ has tucked the chicks under the 'feather quilt"
Just logged on again to see EJ in the late evening brooding the family, just before night vision goes on.

Still light past 10:30:
Barbara Jean: Auburn is exactly the right description for the chick's nape colour.
Did anyone else notice that early in the day, one of the chicks (I thought at the time it was chick #2) nearest the camera was practicing getting to its feet? The movement started with a forward tilt to stretch the wings, then standing briefly on the now straightened legs, before plonking back down again. This was repeated about 3 times while I watched.
