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.

Goodf morning all and so pleased to see there have been 2 fish already. Thanks for all the pics too. Those youngsters are nearly filling the nest now, they are huge and it is wonderful to watch when they copy EJ with the housework and shouting for Dad to bring fish. Still seems a bit windy but not quite so bad as yesterday. Was doing housework before 7 this morning having missed so much yesterday. OH thinks I am completely mad. Told him I wanted to get it done before it got too hot but i think he is well aware of the real reason I started so early.

All quiet on the nest, the 3 are sleeping off their breakfast with EJ doing her watchful mum routine. Weather doesn't look all that good, windy, and maybe a hint of the sun.
Have to go out so will catch up later.
EJ just flew off, with a bit of a shriek : not sure why she called,as usually she tries not to wake the youngsters when they are being quiet.
I've been busy, so don't know what happened in the last half an hour at least.
EJ now on the nest, still rather windy. Chicks/youngsters/mini monsters getting restless.
Youngsters resting again..... EJ has gone flyabout...
EJ came back whilst I dealt with the postman.... now she is calling again. That wind is getting worse....
One youngster had a practice at swinging those wings about, in the wind.... the other two looked at him/her aghast...."what are you doing, idiot?"
Linda really makes me nervious when I see that especially as you say it is so windy. Must have thought better of it and has laid down again.
Hi margobird: (put a note to you on the Weekly Chat) I know, they have to practice with their wings but do wish they would wait until a calmer day to do it!
EJ shouting now, but not sure why yet, is it Odin returning ?...............
