Hi everyone and good morning to our overseas visitors.
EJ is off the nest at present leaving the chicks sleeping. Could very well be on her perch at the side of the nest. Quite a few moths flying around.
I believe there were 6 fish delivered yesterday, the last one about 6pm. 4 very early and 2 within the space of an hour round about 5pm. Not been a delivery since so he could be curtailing his fishing trips.
Have a nice day everyone, see you in the morning.

EJ flies back in with piece of bark, plonks it down, not sure where to put it then decides its superfluous to requirements and shoves it in another place.
She is not sure what to do next. Looking at you babe, looking at me.
For some reason, the still camera is taking an age to refresh today. Here is EJ looking at us enquiringly:
Now its back to the yoga pose, as the youngsters take a well earned (!) rest:
EJ has left the young ones Home Alone again....
FISH!
EJ returns, then Odin with a big fish
I was away, but heard noises--- Odin has brought Fish No. 4--- all excited to see him and the dinner!
-- 1st time I have seen Odin today.
All feeding nicely -
-- Odin flew off after a minute on the nest, looking his handsome self.
.....all 3 are hungry, EJ is posting it into eager mouths as fast as she can. Every now and then she manages to find time to let out a "Fetch More!" shriek.....
Goodness, its all gone! Youngsters are picking at the bits left on the nest, and EJ is food calling again:
EDIT: suppose, unless its a monster sized fish, its not enough for these large birds now - they must take in as much as an adult when they are growing fast.
