All quiet on the nest apart from the wind. EJ and the chick resting.

EJ tearing a piece off the fish......
EJ has decided to have a snack and to feed the chick

Wonderful views of mum feeding chick at 1905, made my weekend!
Now she is back on the eggs and chick - note the empty eggshell which she is still trying to put underneath, poking out at the front:
Hi mogs32 - made my weekend, as well!
Can hear the rain plip plopping on the microphone now.
That chick is learning fast.
Thanks, again to all the posts and pics. EJ look settled for the night! This #1 little humbug obviously gains strength every day. Hope they can all stay well hunkered down as the weather forecast is bad for next week. Met office issued orange flag for Monday - Tuesday, although there might be a little respite tomorrow. BRENDA we often get a hoolie blowing up at about this time of year, but I don't remember one quite as bad as this one could be.
The mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open.
Plink plonk of rain on the cam, EJ suffering in silence , she will be quite wet later. Bedded down because of the rain.

Just read some of the previous posts since I was last on. Thanks for the pics as well.
It really has been a "fun" day for them up there, with the wind and now the rain.
