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.

our young osprey is going hammer and tongs , can't be hungry surely. EJ still not satisfied with the housework and continues to sort things out. I think she is actually cleaning her beak now.
Shattered from heat and hike. If there is a fish 9 I sure hope someone notes it . Thanks. I'm off for bath and bed. Goodnight dear Osps and goodnight dear fans.
8 fish is amazing from Odin. Close up of EJ from earlier:
They've quietened down now and EJ has gone for a break.
Wonderful closeup Alan/
All at peace now and EJ on a break.
Late evening at LG and night vision not on yet. The bairns are resting, I thing EJ must be close by on her favourite perch as she's not on the nest.. Still light, just.
It looks like EJ is going to sleep in the tree tonight. She must be tired of sleeping while hanging on to the edge of the nest because there is no space :)
During the past few night she has slept standing at the very edge of the nest .
She is such a good Mum. She didn't just abruptly start sleeping in the tree . She slept standing on the nest to get them used to not sleeping next to her , but still comforted by knowing she was right there on the nest .
She has also been spending time in the tree during the day, but will rush to the nest if there are intruders or if Odin is coming in with a fish. She has been conditioning them to be without her .
They are growing up too fast for me

Hi everyone.Thanks for all the brilliant updates and pics. Connection hasn't been great this evening but I was glad to see Odin bring fish 7 and 8. What a fantastic provider he is. Those chicks are massive now, and with parents as great as EJ and Odin, no wonder they're doing so well.Night cam's just came on and EJ is away on a break.Paul.

Just gone over to night vision. Young ones on their own, mum is probably nearbye.
One of the young ones just went to the edge of the nest, eek, but has decided to join its siblings instead. A few moths buzzing round .
