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.

This is noteworthy - do hope the staff gives us a clue as to where Odin is getting them.
TItch has flaked out again; #1 is managing to choke some more down; #2 flat out.
EJ is trying to give away more fish but no one is interested. LOL
EDIT Correction - is that Titch standing for more!
I know this is an awful time to sign off, but must really hit the sack soon since contractors are showing up early. Can't wait to find out when the fourth fish of the day arrives!
Nest is littered with fish and bits of fish. Oh funny. Titch is eating from a prone position - no energy to actually get up - Oh I lie - he/she just raised up for a minute and is managing a few more bites. Now #2 has decided to snag a few more bites. And that second fish is still laying there.....
I do hope Odin has gone back to bed 'coz I can't stand the excitement. :-)
I think EJ just polished off the tail of the last fish. Wonder if she'll start on that other one? Now for a bit of beak-cleaning. Well, I should think so after all that gorging.
Off you go to bed, Annette, and Odin is sure to deliver. LOL. He is certainly making up for the other morn when he was so late.
No 2 fish finished. EJ cleaning her beak - or is she sharpening it :-) Quiet chirping from the over-stuffed.
Good morning.
She is still feeding them as they lay down. They are too stuffed to stand lol
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Oh look - Chick #2 has woken up and is pecking at the other fish (which, thankfully, stopped flapping some time ago).
"No 2 fish" I meant the second one eaten. It was the third to arrive. The second to arrive is being pecked by a chick before s/he flops down again.
