Hi, all quiet on the nest, EJ must be close by in her tree, leaving the young ones the spread of the nest.
I think it was 8 fish in all yesterday.
Night, night, see you all in the morning.

SuperOdin the Provider! All those fish yesterday, and then again today!
Is it Raining??

Evening everyone. What a wonderful day on the nest. SuperOdin is in top form and EJ has started fishing. Disappointed I missed her bring in a fish as I had a feeling she would do so soon. Too bad about the football but the match reminded me of watching Scotland (sorry!). (English boyfriend of Dau#1was with us and we shared his frustration. Now Argentina look like they are well in control of their match. Mexico just scored. Sorry - off topic. Nest is very crowded right now. Chicks are giving their wings some serious flapping exercises. EJ ducks to keep out of the way.
It just started raining, and then EJ appeared - I thought, Aaah she's come to keep thebabies dry, but they are all cavorting about in the rain, not bothered, and she keeps looking at her feet - has she brought another fish!!!!
Rain not such a problem now that they have their feathers, no need for EJ to be an umbrella to the same extent
No, I think Emmas right and she is just ducking out of the way of all those wings going.
EDIT; She is trying, nevertheless, to get her wings over at least one chick!!
It certainly looks a bit damp up there. Were those two young ones really trying to get under EJ for shelter? :-)
