Hi everybody, I was a bit hit and miss yesterday as was out most of the day.
Only caught up in the late evening so not sure how many fish were delivered
A lot of action late evening with two fish being delivered by Odin and EJ, two chicks managed to hog them and I believe the Middle one was left out. EJ then delivered a whale of a fish a bit later on and the Middle one had some. Couldn't quite tackle the head so started from furter down. Then EJ flew in and started feeding it. It eventually left like the other two. EJ has stayed on the nest now for well over an hour.
I'll leave you with this pic of her before she flies away for the night.Happy viewing, night shift, see you all in the moning.

Yes Margo, They sure can shout,
Good morning DjoanS at last I have seen the youngsters and noisy little devils at the moment.
Hi Joan, I wonder how long it will be, before they manage to fly away with the fish. It would have to be an Odin fish to start with though.

Brenda - I was wondering that too- I was also wondering if any of them have been eating away from the nest.
Both fishless birds are eyeing the fish now ... but I don't think there will be any leftovers ... it was an Odin fish!
Just read through posts from yesterday and some wonderful pics on there so thanks very much. I am fighting a losing battle trying to keep up at the moment. Today I will have more time and hopefully respond to each instead of a blanket "all". One still eating and two still making a bit of a racket so I hope another fish comes in soon hopefully from EJ and there will be plenty for both.
I just can't remember from the previous years. It does appear, from the noise we hear, that the chicks are on the nest the moment they see the adults. I can also remember that last year, EJ was still bringing fish to Mallachie and Garten on the nest, right up to her migrating and then M or G would take it to a tree.

I think you are right DjoanS hope EJ will come with a whale so the other two can feed.
