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.

Odin on one of his increasingly brief fish deliveries:
All lined up as per usual and feeding in a very civilized manner

All gone already! - and now they are pounding around the nest, complaining!

Thanks Pharazon for the fish count. I didn't know how many had been delivered today.
It looks like he has reduced the deliveries to 6 a day.
The fish is gone ( in record time) and they are yelling for more

--- EJ has now left again. (but that's not her on the right, that's a monster chickie!)
EJ is back, and there is quite a lot of 'conversation' between them all:
--- you can see here, she has yet another stick in her mouth, she is def. worried that these guys are ready to fly off before they're ready!
EJ indulging in a spot of furniture arranging ... just can't find quite the right place! ... she's gone again!!
After they ate the chicks started exercising their wings. EJ watched them standing very near the edge of the nest and immediately went shopping for more branches for the barricade. LOL
She just brought another good size branch
