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.

AHA!!! I just enlarged the pic of the 'fish' as far as I could go, and it's a STOLEN fish!!!! It has been beheaded and cleaned!!!! Probably scaled too. EJ just picked it up to move it to the side of the nest, and the two flaps along the side of the stomach parted, showing it had been cut open and cleaned. Cunning Odin!!!!!
Smiles, Jan.
Only one chick being fed
Titch now being fed
Plenty of fish, so it looks like the chicks are each willing to wait their turn.
#2 now being fed. All very civilised. EJ also feeding herself.
Chicks quickly stuffed (not surprised, by what I read about meals so far today) and EJ is flossing.
#2 chick back for seconds !
