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.

PEACE AT LAST
What a day! I have just got in and was met at the door almost by sounds from the nest - of course, I'd left the computer on. Wonderful watching and thanks to all for writing and pics etc.
Brenda peace didn't last for long as I think Titch is being fed again. Other 2 flat out and now wonder.

Chick 2 decided it doesn't want to be left out so going for more.
Where do they put it all??!! At this rate, they will be fledging when we go up mid-July!!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
EJ feeding Titch and #2 again. And there is still another fish on the nest when the current fish is gone.
I wonder if Odin realizes that if he gets going early and brings in 4 fish in an hour then he can take the day off to bask in the sun :)
A side view of #2 is not of a bird but rather it looks like a basketball with legs

Wow - LG has turned into Fish Heaven !
Many thanks for all the posts, pics and info. on today's events. We will all be waiting now to see if Odin can beat his own record of 9 in one day, from last year.
I've got a theory about Titch - did you all notice how much the Cuckoo was singing these past few weeks at LG? Well, I reckon that # 3 has been an egg laid by the Cuckoo when EJ wasn't looking - that's why he/she eats so much, as will be bigger than Mum before he/she fledges!
That was No 1 getting his just now, was it? Oops, and pooing
Ej is walking around the nest with the fish feeding the chicks as they are laying down. They are too stuffed to stand .
