  • EJ calling and mantling. Chick at back of nest abandons its fish and cowers down. EJ moves to stand on that fish. Titch had just started on the other fish. S/he cowers then hunger takes over. EJ continues to screech & mantle.

  • there's some prolonged mantling from EJ..

     

    i wonder...

     

    i'm definiely hearing some weird noises on the microphone

  • EJ patiently waits to retrieve her fish. She did make an attempt earlier but chick was not letting go.

     

  • Look at the size of that fish that EJ has, and two young ones dont seem that bothered. No # I doing a great job with his/her fish. have missed last evenings viewing and early this AM. Obviously no hungry chicks today.

  • EJ alarm calling, maybe it is the ringing. Two of the chicks are still eating.

    LG 7 days; RW & SWT nil; LDOP varies

  • EJ very agitated and intruder alert has persuaded the chicks to abandon feeding.  She is looking up most of the time so don't think its an LG team member from below!

    She seems more interested in safeguarding the fish than the chicks!

    Chicks now ignoring her and trying to tuck into food.

  • That is a very persistent intruder! Its been lovely to see all three young ones feeding themselves this morning. Perhaps this is when we will start to see some 'in-fighting' over the fish deliveries.
