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.

EJ just taken off for a break.
She's back and is trying to haul a large branch into place but the wind keeps taking her. Now where shall I put it, try it here. Another one is moved around the nest. She is having a job to keep her feet on the ground, tripping over one of the chicks which she has woken up. Now all are stirring, stretching and beginning to preen again.
EJ seems to be satisfied now, doing her yoga again.
One of the young ones was trying to exercise its wings, but difficult in this wind, nearly took off. All three have calmed down again and EJ is also having a job keeping herself on the nest.
Odin arrives with another fish ... looked quite small ... and somebody hasn't bothered to get up and feed yet!

EJ beginning to shout and all three are alert now, could be an incoming fish from Odin.
And YES IT IS, ANOTHER FISH, well done Odin. EJ has a chunner to him and off he goes. Not in a great hurry to feed. Two of them lined up and beginning to take food.,3rd one is disinterested and faces towards the camera.
On second thoughts, maybe I will think about having some.
How many fish so far today, anyone know.
The reluctant feeder has now decided to join in.
Lynette - I think this is fish #4
