It looks peaceful, EJ is standing at the edge of the nest. Chicks are a bit restless but seem to be settling.
I think it was 5 fish that Odin brought in yesterday.
quick update for LOTL fans: Lady seemed to rally a bit more today but is still quite ill. Camera at LOTL is down at the moment. I know its not on the correct thread but not everybody has time to catch up on the LOTL blog.
Anyway all is calm, happy viewing, I'm off to bed now. Oh, and before I forget, first day of summer here, well let's hope it is.

EJ doing her 'majestic' impression from the side of the nest - I notice that she stands there more often now, its much warmer now, and the chicks take up a lot of room anyway!
Chicks are now going up to Mum and complaining.. "where's Dad got to, you know we need feeding regularly, we're growing babies, you know"
Don't they look funny when they waddle like ducks around the nest. Its only because they are fat little bundles at the moment and in time they will even out.
Lindybird EJ is very good at doing "majestic" and there really isn't a lot of room in the nest especially when the chicks are sprawled out like they are now.

EJ gone for another break, left the 3 home alone.
Back she comes and is that a stick she brought back with her or one from before. Now proceeds to do some furniture arranging.
Odin arrives with FISH, and is straight off again. 3 hungry chicks begin another feed, where do they put it.
Odin arrives with FISH
EDIT: it was still flapping, so you can see Odin biting the head, to make sure its dead and will not harm the chicks.
14.35 and another fish. EJ had been calling so knew one was on its way.
