Hi everybody.
We've had an eventful day with Odin bringing in 5 fish and intruders trying to land on the nest but being chased off by EJ.
All is quiet on the nest except for fidgiting from the chicks who are keeping EJ awake. She has her back to us at present and is looking toward the right of the picture. One little one has just been obliging over the far end of the nest.
Happy watching, see you in the morning. night, night.

FISH!I'm sure that's number 5.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
They are in a different order. Looks like #1 in the middle, with titch to it's right.
Very civilised feeding again ... Titch is really developing the golden nape now too. In between mouthfuls of food for the chicks, EJ was telling Odin to "Go get more fish ... this isn't big enough!"

Fish no 5 and its only 13:00. Odin is Magnificent today. Not much bullying but lots of eating.
Lovely pic DjoanS everytime I look at these 3 chicks I am completely amazed at their rapid development. Missed the fish delivery, had a bit of lunch myself and promptly fell asleep. I worried so much about the injections that I have made myself feel really tired. Glad to see the fish even though I missed it. Odin certainly has his work cut out now.

Heron77 it is great to see isn't it. Poor EJ is being blown about a bit today. Hope the chicks stay away from the edge of nest. Perhaps after all the meals so far they will settle down for a nap.
Hi margobird.So happy to hear you're doing fine. Those chicks are massive! Not only that but magical. Well they can make a fish vanish in a couple of minutes. LOL

Heron 77 I am sitting watching our 3 wonderful chicks now. All having a preen and not so wobbly anyymore and EJ sitting there looking around and watching over her precious family. Magical is a work I use often but they really are.
One of the chicks just moved a stick which was promptly put back where it was by another. Lovely watching them at the moment as they all seem to be busying themselves with the nest. Titch is face on to chick1 I think doesn't want to stay so close to the rear end as it will get whitewashed.
Rain at LG. Grrrrrrrrr!
