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.

Fish so far at 6.38am and 8.58 am, margobird. they are due another, now. Perhaps the wind is making it ripple the water and difficulty for Odin to fish.

Just tried the stills camera, and got this pic of a youngster nearly flying !!
EDIT: arn't those wings impressive ??? !
Biggest wing flapping again he/she is so big that from the canera angle looks bigger than EJ. EJ started her calling sound just now so thought maybe Odin is around but all quiet again now.

All that praise from Paul has gone to his head!He's resting on his laurels.
Could be, Jay Jay. Wonder if he's busy eating one for himself before he comes back to the nest with another.
14.35 - A FISH!
Sounds like an incoming fish ... ! Oh yes ... here he is ... plus an intruder.

Odin stays a while, the intruder is still about..... he is doing that loud chirp of his....
EJ gets down to feeding the hungry hordes straight away:
Is there a fish, I only saw hime come back to assist with interloper.??
