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.

she can obviously see it flying around as she keeps moving from side to side following it. Must be right in front of her at the moment.
Chicks have heads down... EJ shouting a lot, hard to see if the intruder is usual osprey....
Wow ... EJ just flew up at the intruder on the post

just jumped up in the air to frighten it off. Its not going that easily, she is frantic.
Look at the anger in EJ's eyes she just flew at it. Whoever it is if I were them I would beat a hasty exit.

One of the chicks has now joined EJ in shouting!
EJ still shouting and one of the chicks joined in at one point . Intruder being very resistant to EJ's warnings.
look at those eyes, so angry !!
....all gone quiet again now, thank goodness. That was very dramatic. She is going to defend that nest with everything she can muster, no doubt about that. (it was funny when one of the chicks actually joined in with the shouting!)
Linda I think EJ needs a fish now to calm thngs down although with that wind blowing like it is will be difficult for Odin.
Wrong blog bit great just now as Lady was in nagging mode. She wants another fish too.
