I thought a little earlier that I could hear noises from the last egg but maybe the chicks make sucking noises? Anyway, I'm up so I thought I'd start us off. But going to bed now.
Good night EJ it sounds a little wet now
I see Storm has got itself in front, learning fast. Thanks fopr the pics

I just came on in time to see them....
Oh, Joan that's a gorgeous pic of 'our little family'
EJ had a really good feed herself, as well as the two chicks. Now she's decided they've had enough, and snuggles down over them.

I thought it was lovely, too, Linda ... I loved the look on Odin's face :-))
Its good to see that chick #2 is not going to be left out! - nothing wrong with putting yourself forward!
Agree with Alex that its hard to see what's on the nest now, as there is still some empty eggshell there.
Reminds me of some of the enigmatic expressions Odin had on his face last year, Joan! Do wish we knew what he was thinking...
DjoanS I certainly do love our little family and great to see that chick 2 has worked out how to get fed, memories of last year when Titch was so good at it. Sounds and looks as though it is lashing down with rain and EJ hunkered right down in the nest protecting her precious chicks.
What excell pics! Thanks to all you who posted. I noticed that when EJ exploded off the nest after an intruder 1# little humbug wasn't going to take it lying down either!! I think that was your pic Cirrus, was it?
Ej just had another excercise flight and is feeding humbugs again.
The mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open.
