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.

Peaceful and quiet. EJ getting some rest, then there is a minor eruption as someone wriggles.
Hi all: Wow. Lotsa drama yesterday. Wonder how much success intruders have on average in terms of chasing away well established residents. If other ospreys are anything like EJ, can't imaging they do that well.
Hallo Susan/Soosin! And Hallo AQ!
Hallo Annette. The nest doesn't look any different from last time I looked.
We have color.
EJ is trying to keep the chicks covered while she attentively watches for Odin and breakfast
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
She's certainly watching. Hope he doesn't keep her waiting too long. Sounds like she was hungry after the last fish delivery last night.
Odin delivered a fish with a little mishap. He landed right on the chicks! .
He looks so embarrassed he took off after EJ grabbed the fish
Chick #2 , that got nothing from the late night fish, is now first in line to eat
OMG. Odin arrives - noisy greeting from EJ - then lands right on chick #2 (?) - splat!. After a bit of a muddle, he manages to sort himself out and flies off. Chicks lined up to eat with Titch in the middle, positioning herself close to where EJ tears bits off the fish and even pecking at the fish! Why wait for Mom to do it when you can grab a bite yourself!?
That fish is gone in record time.
EJ loudly calling for another fish
Geez. Did they finish that fish already? EJ is calling again. Did she get any? Looks like she's poking around the nest for any leftovers from previous feeds.
Poor EJ trying to settle on the chicks but there's no way she can cover them all. She's calling again. Maybe she'll decide to start fishing soon.
