Hi everyone, a mixed day, intruders about, lots of shouting and shrieking and mantling. EJ and the young ones saw them off though.
Not sure how many fish, I think 4 were delivered. All had something to eat eventually, Greedy guts (#1) hogged fish when it could but I suppose that is the norm. Middle and younges still haven't fledged but whethe they will in the next few days who knows as the weather forecast is pretty grim for this part of the country
Leave you with the bairns all close together, sleeping. Happy viewing, see you in the morning.

Sue C; I wanted to thank you for setting me straight on the main blog last week - that post I made about the Diary being moderated? I did post a reply on that page, but it never loaded - the page just got hung up and then I had to go out/to bed! :-)
UH oh. Had this window open in front of the cam window and someone snuck off the nest while I wasn't looking!
The eldest just went for a fly-about. The other two are watching as he circle the area showing off.
Due to all the rain the two on the nest look like they are having a bad hair ( I mean feather) day . There are No hair ( feather) dryers at their accommodations :)

I doubt that it affects them They dive into the water and rise from it with a fish and fly without any problems
I stand corrected. They do have feather dryers . It is your nest mate flapping it's wings LOL The breeze produced will dry feathers in not time at all.

How inconsiderate of the LG Team not to supply feather dryers along with Tesco fish. LOL
Barbara Jean: Oh duh. Thanks. Of course, they fish and get wet. That makes me officially one of the "Lost the Plot" LG bloggers (see Weekly Chat!) :-)
Hey AQ; You weren't there the last time I posted!
Oh geez. Don't believe it - just left the computer for 5 minutes and EJ - I think - showed up with a fish and now is feeding the chicks. Is it #2 that's hanging back, though interested?
Annette - Yes I have been coming & going. So ditto. I left the room and return to see a civilized feeding group. Fish gone already. I must have been away longer than I thought. Now EJ is calling for more.
EJ is serving a fish. I don't know who delivered it . #1 is getting most of it, but #3 is not taking that lightly. He is grabbing bits as EJ offers them to the eldest. :)
#2 is just standing there waiting to be offered some. EJ is offering #2 some of the fish . EJ offered the tail to #2 .
They are all calling Odin including EJ for him to bring more . What a racket . EJ just flew off
The chicks are still singing the " we want fish" chorus , but they are singing a bit off key . Now eldest flew off . It is still raining
