Our cam was restored to us yesterday morning, albeit struggling over what Peter of Carnyx told us was the slowest broadband connection he had ever known (at LG). We are grateful, but have to be aware that the cam may lag behind events and suddenly update itself, with significant events, like a fish delivery, having been missed.
We speculated that EJ may have removed a dead chick from the nestcup. If we can get a clear view of the unhatched egg, we may get a clue.
The wet day ended mistily and it's a misty wee-small-hours now.
It's been a nice night-nest tonight:
When EJ got up for a flap her wings were "curtailed" ;-)
The return flap was OK:
The chicks have been active, making some very sweet sounds.

Flown. Well, disappeared after appearing to prepare to fly, and she's back very pronto, chirping.
Little one can't get into feeding position yet.
EDITING in pics, which are not all in the right place, but MOFFER'll have my guts for garters if I don't make more effort :o
EJ returning:
Little one does make an effort but didn't get anything - but I don't think #1 got much, if anything, either:
Is EJ expecting another fish?

He did a tiny bit of nestorising and pottered:
And posed:
Odin has flown.
Good morning all. Thank you Scylla for starting the day and your wonderful overnight/early morning coverage. Have a great day at LG Mary (much envy)

Good morning, MOFFER. I've been busy editing in snaps above, hoped to complete before you arrived but... ;-)
Just got signed out! I'll take the hint and "log off" now, it's been a long night what with one nest and another. I do hope #2 gets a good meal soon.
Oh, we're back :)
3 fish today. First one here early am. Second at 10am
Third at 11.59
One minor intruder incident with first EJ calling on the nest (between 13.00 and 14.00, sorry I didn't note the time)
and then Odin distantly, but no one landed or came into view.
I will add that both chicks have been well fed, and both fell into a fish coma today. For a complete view of today (while the forum was closed) see here
