Hi folks,
Well another day has passed. I wasn't in much of yesterday but judging from the posts and pics not a lot was happening , it seemed to be a quietish day here.
Won't get much of a chance to look in until late afternoon tomorrow as I have other things on, so will catch up then.
Over to the night shift, happy viewing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynette likes to rush the week to get to the weekend LOL
Was anyone else having problems getting on the site today?
I was unable to get on this site, the main blog and the still camera.

Hey Barbara Jean: I tried to get on around lunchtime but the site never loaded.
EJ has just arrived with a whale. #1? tried to grab it immediately and there was a little pecking at EJ; then Titch, I think, flew in and #1 grabbed the fish from EJ and took it to a "corner" of the nest. Then Odin arrived with yet another fish (sorry, but a small, Odin-sized fish) and Titch snagged that one. EJ decided she didn't need to stay home and watch her greedy offspring scarf up breakfast, so she took off (maybe to get her own fish!)
EJ just delivered a whopper and it looks like Eldest grabbed it and mantled over it. . Right behind her Odin delivered a fish and Titch I think grabbed it. He is yelling at the fish as usual. Ej is standing there in utter amazement at the racket . Now she flew off
Once again Middle didn't come to the nest to try to grab a fish. Middle is too docile. It worries me
Eldest may be a bit stronger, but Titch is not going to let that get in his way. He has pushed to the front to get what he needs from the day he hatched. Even now he is not a adept as Eldest is at tearing a fish , but he will grab one and muddle through it , grumbling with every beak full. But he gets stronger every day
Eldest and Titch are definitely survivors!!
Morning Barbara Jean, I got in OK but very sllooowwwly.
EJ brought a fish (her usual size), one juvie grabbed it then Odin brought a fish as well (his usual size LOL) and another juvie got that. Was laughing when the juvie who has the whopper was peaking his siblings smaller fish like wanted to check if it was tastier LOL
EDIT: morning Annette :)

Good grief. EJ with another whale!! Wonder where #2 is - aha - is here now!!. OMG and here's Odin with Yet Another Fish. What IS going on!! Odin has left again and EJ and the chicks don't know which way to turn there are so many fish. Don't believe this: Piggy #1 is waddling over to EJ who's feeding it. Oh please, leave your mother alone for a minute!! That's four fish so far and it's barely 6 a.m. UK time.
OMG EJ and Odin must be fishing together. They arrived at the same time again with their fish.
Everyone has a fish !!
Titch grabbed Odin's offering. Eldest has his original fish and EJ is feeding Middle.
This is a great sight. Titch took his fish to the large branch on the right side. He is balancing it on the large branch. He is learning to eat in a tree:))
Was wondering how Titch was doing with that fish. OK, so EJ feeding #2 and not #1. Now only EJ and one chick left on the nest, with EJ finally getting a quiet minute to eat breakfast.
Hi and Bye Auntie, and g'night Barbara Jean, I'm off to bed.
Titch is full and flew away . Middle is full and flew away EJ is still eating. Eldest has stopped eating and walked away from his fish. Now he also flew away leaving the uneaten fish on the nest.
I am sure we will have a visit from Odin shortly to retrieve the uneaten fish. :)
EJ is standing on half of her uneaten fish looking around for a hungry bird to feed .
EJ's first offering is partially eaten laying near the front of the nest . I am surprised Odin has not yet come to retrieve it
Lately he has been roosting near the nest waiting for the juves to be full. Then he takes the left overs to eat.
