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.

Odin just landed with a fish, no sign of EJ...
he's feeding the chicks!!!!
i'm absolutely sure its odin...although i can't quite believe it
Thanks for that Pharazon:
I was looking at something else and heard the wings and the little chirps and assumed it was EJ returning and was amazed to see Odin feeding 2 of the youngsters, the one seemingly not interested. I bet when this fish is gone and EJ returns they will be shouting for more not letting on that Dad has already fed them.

Odin just flew off; he was on the nest for a good 20 minutes or so... wonder why...
Thanks Pharazon for the video and Odin did spend a while on the nest. I am sure EJ will be soon and look at one of the youngsters resting its head on his siblings.
Thanks for the video clip Pharazon ... I missed it ... was watching the football when Odin sneaked in! All sleeping peacefully now. I see that one margobird, using its sibling as a pillow :-)

Going to say goodnight all now as OH will be back with the shopping soon and my part of the deal is to put it away. Thanks to all for all the posts and pics today. As I go 3 youngster all cuddled up together trying to get out the wind I should think.
Evening everyone. With one eye on the football, I hadn't realised that was Odin feeding the chicks earlier. EJ has flown in with a half-time fish. Mmm - noone interested!
EJ with a fish. Three slowlybecoming aware of the fact but showing little interest at the moment.
