Quite windy at LG at the moment. EJ managing just to keep all chicks warm.
Odin delivered 6/7 fish, not quite sure. Fairly uneventful except for the times when the chicks were scoffing their food. Makes for amusing watching
Happy watching to all early morning viewers
Strange sounds coming through the mike, sounds like firecrackers going off, hope its not shooting in any way or form. Could be the sound of fireworks. Certainly got EJ listening and watching something.

Thanks from me, too. Looks colder at LG this morning, lets hope they get some sun later.
EJ sitting on her brood at present - little chirrupy noises from them all.
There seems to be an intruder around this morning. EJ was mantling and screeching.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
EJ became agitated, but I'm really not sure why- at first I thought she had seen Odin, but she started mantling, so perhaps saw a threat:
---- she is quiet again, now.
EJ mantling and alarm calling again but nothing seems visible.
She is still agitated about something -
Looks colourful on the nest this morning, in spite of not much sun. The yellow of the pretty moss EJ brought sets off the wonderful golden colour on the napes of the chicks:
The chicks seem very restless this morning. They just can't get comfortable. Probably all waiting for more fish. I must go shopping now.
EJ doing her yoga again- on one leg to rest her poor feet, it must seem a long stint to spend these weeks and months even on the nest, when she would rather be in a tree!
Poor EJ ... that intruder is back ... mantling over the chicks and calling
