All quiet, chicks are chunnering, EJ is fidgity because the chicks keep wriggling.
Been a bit of an eventful day
Weather looks dry at present so lets hope today brings some sunshine for a change.
Happy watching to you all from overseas. See you in the morning.

Thank you jsb. I think you seem to have covered everything and as time progresses, I can see that it would all be very intersting. Do you still have stats of last years birds for comparison ?
Thanks jsb. Very useful to have all these stats together. Nice to see 2 fish already this morning and hopefully the weather will be a bit better today with less intruder action.
EJ was calling but has stopped for the time being. Looks like it could be Odin in the far tree to the centre right. She was obviously telling him to go fishin.
3rd fish and an intruder
EJ frantically calling now and in comes Odin with fish no. 3. He is alarm calling now, there must be an intruder around.
Titch is up first for the feed, the other two slower off the mark. Both older chicks decided to p.......at the same time nearly hitting each other. #1 seems to be full as not clamouring for food as is #2 and Titch.
Odin has quietened down now, threat must have abated.
Fish but an intruder seems to follow Odin . He is alarm calling
He isn't happy and stays on the nest for quite a while.
He's off , satisfied that the nest was well defended. Must be at the side on the camera tree because he is still calling unless its the chicks - so confusing.
---Odin now flown off, but EJ very alert as she continues to feed the chicks....
