Hi everybody, what a day its been.
LG has been fairly quiet all day with comings and goings of fish deliveries, I think it was 5 in all. Those chicks are enormous now, coming up to their peak growing spurt.
At LOTL things have taken, at present, a turn for the better. I will try and post the last blog that Peter wrote::
21 June 2010 2:36 UpdateWhat a day it has been for all involved. Isn’t this bird amazing, she has now fed herself and the chicks 4 times now this evening. This is good news and yes there is a but, but she still is not 100%. Let's hope our male can get some fish into the nest early tomorrow morning so she can feed again soon. Fiona and I will be here through the night to keep an eye on her. We will keep the blog updated as usual, which reminds me to thank the guys at Red Paint for getting the blog up and running again. They do a great job for us.Peter
Thats for those of you who don't always get time to look at LOTL's blog. Hope it helps.
At present, EJ is getting some shuteye and the chicks are dozing with the occasional bit of restlessness. I think it must be midges that keep going in front of the camera.
Night, night, all back in the morning.

All gathering to tuck in, Titch in the middle again...
...they were quite excited, so must be hungry I think.
Hi DjoanS - do you think they've grown again since yesterday ! ??
Morning Lindybird - definitely grown overnight ... I thought Odin was on the nest with EJ at first glance .... but then he arrived with a fish!
EDIT - maybe I should use fish on my plants to make them grow ... although I think there is something called 'blood, fish and bone' fertiliser :-))
That's Fish No. 2 for today then, everyone.
Time now to thank all those who posted overnight. Sorry to hear you have the chickenpox, ghengis : - ( that's no fun at all.
Yes, there is,DjoanS : I use it sometimes - my parents used to swear by it to make things grow !!!!!!!!!
Fish all gone already - thought it was on the small side, but very well received!
Beak cleaning in progress, and giant babies are trundling about the nest now...
My wings are growing bigger than your wings............. nah, nah!
Can't resisit putting just one more pic on, here is EJ being majestic again, in the sunshine with 3 full tummies settling down on the nest:
--isnt that a wonderful sight ??
I've just been reading all the blogs ... takes ages these days, but I'm not complaining ... my thanks to all the overnight posters! All quiet on the nest in the morning sunshine .... just snoozing, preening and yoga :-)
EDIT - Just how I felt too, Lindybird
