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.

Sandy, I signed on after Alan and accepted his count of three ( P3 10.01am) but have now looked back and agree with you. Just a typing error, I think, which we can all make.
Tich turned away, completely full!!
So not a typing error, thanks Alan.
Cirrus how good does it get. Odin the Magnificent in top form today - 6 fish already. Love the little noises of satisfaction coming from our ever growing chicks.
Thanks for all the pics.

EJ may get a feed from this fish, instead of just the tail.
Sandy I think what the chicks leave EJ will eat and at the moment i am not sure there will be any left for her.
Well they are still feeding and Titch appeard to get his share although for a while it looked as though 1 and 2 were sitting on him/her. Once again 3 stuffed chicks.
Wrong blog but the Laird at LOtL has just delivered a large fish and apparently they think the count for yesterday was 10.
EJ mopping up yet again. I was watching that feed and could hear myself saying to my children, that they would be sick if they ate anymore. Not this three !!!

Thanks for that, Alan. I didn't think it had been reported on this thread. So it is 6 - so far!

BrendaH look at the state of those chicks again. So full they can hardly move and EJ looks as though she is trying to keep them warm but now much too large to be brooded properly. Great to know they have had a lot of fish today. Seems to much less worrying watching them this year but of course we know Odin is a great provider now. Generally speaking there is not a lot of trouble at mealtimes either.
