Hi folks, can't say I've seen much action yesterday as I was in and out all day. Not sure how many fish were delivered but I believe fish were left on the nest for the youngsters to try and feed themselves. A valuable lesson to be learned, but whether it succeeded or not, not sure.
At present our teenagers are fairly inactive. EJ is probably roosting nearbye as the nest is getting overcrowded with their huge sizes
Happy viewing to all our overseas watchers, and to the homies, see you in the morning.

Looks like a rainy day at LG. Chicks still snoozing.
Morning all :) Looked like two of them just practiced synchronized swimming - they stretched their wings (one of each) simultaneously over the third chick

Morning auntie.
Just saw that. Great entertainment. :-)
Have to go and get some sleep now.

Sleep well, Heron :)
EJ returns, calling. All rise and shine, stretching. They'd better make room if Odin is to land. And is here FISH delivery. He stands briefly but no-one is interested in chatting to him and he departs.
EJ arrives; all up and calling - where is Odin going to land? Ahha; one chick is backing up - only to poop it turns out. Hmm. EJ is peering all around the nest - oh backing up and here comes Odin - barely room to land. Big fish. Off goes Odin. Two chicks interested; the other one hanging back as usual.
Is that #1 who is more interested in being a flapper than a feaster? I think Titch is on the left of the 2 feeding.
Morning AQ. If they'd all face the cam and stay still for - oh about 5 minutes - I might be able to ID them! Any idea who's the one hanging back - seems darker than the others.

Annette #2 is hanging back. It has white on the side of it's head

AQ: The one hanging back seems somehow more mature than the others and also more interested in flapping than feeding.
