EJ just left the nest a few moments ago to go and roost. All quite at the nest with two of the youngsters snoozing and one doing some wing stretching.

EJ shrieking and mantling ... that pesky intruder is back ... one young one joined in the chorus at one point ... from a prone position of safety, of course!
EDIT - morning margobird and Alan !

Good morning DjoanS I see Odin has come in to help EJ get rid of the intruder.
Margobird
Hi margobird - I didn't see Odin ... just heard all the noise and when I came to look it was just EJ! All quiet now, but EJ has remained on the nest.
LOL DjjoanS I think it was one of the youngsters stood up next to EJ, completely fooled me as it looks the same size as Odin. Just shows how big these 3 are.
You could be right margobird - I usually have to count the bodies now to check!
odin just delivered fish #3
Here comes a fish... 11.28! EJ grabs it and mantles over it ... is there an intruder? .... she hasn't started the feed yet and is watching the sky.
Odin's just arrived with a fish, EJ talking to him and off he goes. Wing flapping first. She is still chunnering away, whatever for!!! Now she's started to feed them. All half interested.
Forgot to thank Heron and others for updates and pics.

Only one feeding to begin with, the other two are watching something.
DjoanS I completely missed that heard EJ calling assisted by the youngsters who all sood up, went to the bedrooom and on my return there was a fish. Well done Odin can't be easy in that wind.
