Evening/morning all: Evening here; just pouring a little glass of wine......
Linda, Husband says he is most humbly chastised. He had a good laugh.
The rain sounds quite steady on the nest.
Did you see EJ just shake the water off her head - quite a spray!

EJ being in umbrella mode, at the moment. At least they are all full up with fish.
Our girl protecting her babes:
Good morning all and so busy after I left yesterday. Some absolutely wonderful captures so I don't feel as if I have missed anything. Weather not being very kind again, logged in to see chicks being fed and then not long after EJ had tucked them under her again but as has been noted they are getting rather large now and bits of them sticking out. They really do seem frow overnight and nice to see Storm snuggling up to Star and also to see mostly civilised feeding times. Loved the pic of Odin looking at his family and wondering why they are so big. All down to him of course, a super fisherman. They are home alone at the moment and think it was Star who just pooped over the edge of the nest. Much better aim this time.

Poor EJ she is getting a soaking again.
Thanks to Hazel, Annette, Scylla, and Heron for the morning shift, even if some of them were suffering from insomnia. I know what its like, often come down to watch TV if that happens and it lulls me off to sleep.
Anyway, thank you all for updates and pics. Sounds as if its raining again and EJ has her head right down trying to shelter herself nd the bairns.Has popped her head up now for a look around. Looks pretty miserable at LG today. Sunny, cloudy, and the occasional shower down here.

Might have been an intruder around as Odin returned briefly to protect his family although EJ is still making a bit of a noise.
