Hi everybody,
Its been another eventful day, Odin has been a great dad and provided for his family as usual
Chicks are getting more adventurous in the nest.
EJ being a wonderful mum. Intruder has been about again but has been sent packing.
At the moment EJ is trying to rest but the youngsters keep wriggling about so disturb her.
Happy viewing, see you all in the morning.

i think even EJ is full now...
4 fish before 7am... that's got to be some kind of record
EJ has decided to redecorate & is moving sticks
I am not sure if EJ realizes the other fish in under the chicks or is saving it for later . She seemed to have looked at it a few times.
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
still 1 1/2 fish left and no one is hungry
EJ pecks at last fish, wanders with it, doesn't seem to be hungry. Chicks are fast asleep.
Feeding time again for #2 and Titch, while #1 is sitting beside the 2nd fish.
Raining. EJ has trouble covering the monsters.
ha ha ha
just started raining and the chicks (can we still call them chicks?) are trying to get under EJ...
YOU'LL NEVER FIT!
Yes this must surley be a record, Pharazon, and would love to know where he caught them. If I remember rightly the fish farm is about 15mins as the crow flies "Ospreys fly faster"??, so I dont think he got them from there. Also when I was there in 08 and spoke to the fish farmer, he told me they only rear the trout to plate size which is 8 to 10 inch, and not as large as Odins.
Sounds like a really exciting morning, shame to have missed it . So thank you to all for keeping up the good work by posting the action. It would be even better if someone had recorded it.
Is EJ brooding the chicks and the fish ?
Or did she move the fish that was under the chicks?
