Hi all, wasm't in much yesterday so not quite sure how many fish were delivered. Reading the posts there seems to have been a plethora of fish delivered and from what I can gather all three had good meals from them EJ and Odin delivering fish during the course of the day.
I won't be around in the morning as helping at Kids Summer Club at Church but will log on in the afternoon and catch up. Happy viewing and hi to Annette, Aquilreen, Barbara Jean, and many more from overseas. And I'll say Good Morning in advance to all our home bloggers, keep the pics coming as I'll have to catch up.
Leaving you with last photo of the night: Notice the part eaten fish in the centre of the nest. Left by Middle and not wanted by anyone else.

This brood is truly blessed to have enough food that they can leave an uneaten fish on the nest.
Life may get a bit more difficult for them when fish are not just dropped in front of them :)

Love the picture of the fish left on the nest!
Looking at the nest, which is devoid of GEM's, I think the fish is still there.
These were from yesterday, Sunday.One of the chicks is eating and EJ comes in with a fish. There is general chaos but she gets a real good peck from one of the them, for her troublehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz7eHvxOGUEThis was about 40 minutes later. Odin comes in with a fish but the chick isn't too worried to start with. Odin drops it and leaves and then the fish starts flapping around, with the chick looking on.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjPdh1xPydw
Evening all: Odin just brought a fish and one of the chicks immediately flew in to snatch it up. It's #1 or Titch; #2 flew in to check things out but is just watching.
Gary: Thanks for the two videos - poor EJ. If I were here, I'd go on strike for a day or two and let those pushy chicks figure it out!
Second chick just flew off.
Left for a bit - now two chicks back on the nest. Both appear to be eating.
Sun is coming up; one chick on the nest - I think it's the original one - still eating!

Thanks for the videos . I didn't see this when it happened
Good grief!! That was Middle who bit EJ on the wing and more that once.
Last year the chicks were for the most part very nice to EJ and she stayed later than usual. This year she may leave early if this nasty behavior keeps up.
EJ has a Whopper fish and she is eating it by herself . There appears to be a juvie on the left eating. The other two have not come to the nest . Hum-m-m-
Hmm. Well I think it's EJ on the nest with a large fish. The original (#!?) chick has just left the nest leaving part of the first fish I do believe.
I'm off to bed folks. Sorry this isn't an entirely helpful set of posts! Uh oh. #1 - or someone - back again to finish off that fish. All a bit confusing!
