Hi everyone, been an eventful day, 7 fish in all, chicks have been eating all they can and are getting bigger by the day.
All peaceful on the nest and EJ looks to be getting some sleep.
Happy watching, see you in the morning.

Thanks Lynette. :-) That's a lot of fish - and had to laugh at Heather's comment about her OH's fishing skills when compared to you-know-who's (whose??). All quiet on the nest right now; another two minutes and the sun will be up.
Lots of fidgeting as the biggies can only fit their heads under cover.
Hey AQ: Don't know how anyone can sleep when it's that light so early.
Annette, well I can fall asleep after lunch when it is broad daylight. LOL When visiting northern Scotland I thought the long evenings were wonderful. And I didn't mind the birds starting their dawn chorus at 3 am (or was it earlier?) Of course I was on holiday . . . Somewhow EJ has managed to cover most of them. Just now it is really weird - I can hear Cuckoo radio from LG and Dove Radio in my backyard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One chick has insomnia and is disturbing everyone else. Ah, they have settled - for now.
EJ has her head down - on top of fidgety chick. Tweet tweet. Is that Radio Chaffinch?
Very loud cuckoo right there, plus what sounded like an exasperated duck. Hmm.
Daycam and color. At 3:30 a.m. UK time!!
Very odd. There's the "cuck" but the "coo" isn't always there. Has hiccups? EJ now wide awake.
It will be interesting to see the size of the chicks today and who is sporting new feathers .
The way EJ has built up the fence there isn't much space on the nest. Where will 3 full size birds sleep?
The situation at meal time has been very civil.
However, I wonder how civil they will be when they are stumbling over each other trying to find a space to rest.
