Hi folks, Midsummers day, and the weather looks fair set till the weekend.
Not sure how many fish came in yesterday as was out in the evening.
Its a lovely domestic scene with the youngsters up and about and EJ watching over them in her usual stance. Quite quiet.
See you in the morning, happy viewing and thanks in advance to our night watchers who keep us up to date with their humourous posts and occasional pics.

Oh - serious wing flapping from one of the chicks. Soon we're going to be at the stage where I won't be able to tell chicks from parents.
EJ back.
Well, as I just said on the LOTL blog, it's nearly 10 p.m. and I'm really tired tonight, so signing off.
No fish at either nest so far. I think Odin and the Laird were out on the town together last night.....
Take care all.
Chicks preening, wandering, flossing, flapping. At home alone
EJ returns. Calls, backs off. And here is Odin with a fish. Odin departs
Two being fed. Chick on right prefers to admire the view.
Now the third joins in. S/he seems to be picking up dropped pieces as well.
The center chick ( I can't tell which one it is) is obese !
It looks bigger than EJ
Odin has to cut down on the fish!! .
EDIT It is chick #2 that is so huge

All gone. EJ calling for more. Barbara Jean - Did someone say they needed heavy lift helicopters to migrate!

We may be knitting hats and scarves, and donating for fish from Tesco's and a nest heater because they will be too fat to fly and will be staying for the winter
If you compare these chicks to EJ's size and then compare the chicks at LOTL to Lady's size the LG chicks are enormous . And the LG chicks are younger than the chicks at LOTL
Last year Roy Dennis said the chicks were a bit on the heavy side. This year he may say these chicks need to go on a diet .
