Dawn is breaking, but it looks very foggy. It must have gotten cold after the rain

Odin's Visit video. (There are a couple of blips in it where I didn't know what I was doing, the first is the worst, it's only a few seconds long.) If you hang on after Odin leaves you'll see EJ apparently digging a latrine between the two chicks' botties ;-D

FISH via Odin!

I was through in the other room ... missed the delivery, but heard all the 'feeding squeaks'!

Both eating well. Look at Star's fancy new tail feathers :)
Storm is developing auburn neck feathers too . Star is also walking up right on it's legs
They are growing up too fast for me
Was trying to catch up since yesterday and all was quite on the nest then at 1955 EJ took a comfort break (I think you call it?) Star & Storm were "top to toe" :
Then Storm turns around. The original lyrics that spring to mind are "He ain't heavy - he's my brother" :
OK, you stalwarts think they are girls but you get my drift !! EJ returned to her chicks:
... what d'ya know ... Odin arrives with fish!
He didn't stay long and flies off - maybe to find more sustenance ...? EJ feeding their overgrowing chicks (my goodness, what a difference a day makes!):
... (the time it's taken me to post this I'm sure you've got it all covered anyway! If I were any slower I'd be going backwards! LOL)
For the second time today I have noticed Storm trying to snuggle unde Star after s/he decides she has eaten enough.
Lovely photos. We have been blaming Star for sitting on Storm but the evidence suggests s/he goes under willingly!!
Those poor babies are being force fed now, Odin is used to feeding three. I noticed No 2 pushing his way under No 1 too Brenda.

Oh Good - more fish has been brought. When I came on, they were trying to sit still as EJ tried to sit on them, but without much success as they are toooo big...
edit --- they are all settled now, and hopefully with full tummies. (I have been watching Springwatch so missed all the action on here)
