A new day begins. I wonder if Odin will be up in time to get breakfast served early today?
Great scene of chicks preening a while ago.
Tiger Signature
Everyone is very restless on the nest. EJ is pacing and rearranging the furniture, and has now flown possibly to the camera tree. The youngsters are preening, wing stretching and occasionally moving small bits around. I am surprised that the unhatched egg remains intact despite the best endeavours of all on the nest when moving around. Just goes to show that we worry needlessly when Odin came in with a branch and plonked it on everyone, or the wind blew the 'y' shaped stick on to the eggs. And now the sun has come out as the chicks stretch their necks, sitting back on their tails, to see what is going on around them.

Sound's back on!
EJ returns to the nest and Odin brings in a FISH delivery. Happy family.
Still not any sound here. Odin just arrived with FISH
Storm is attempting to pull at the fish herself!
So many lovely pics to greet me on my return home - bless you all . This one Lindy has captured my heart - just look at Star ......... atten -TION !. Storm looks to be examining the egg - mmm what's this then. And just look at her big necklace, rivalling her mum's.
Tiger:
Maybe it is worth noting that Star is on day 24 today. Storm is on day 19 today.
Five days difference . Happy birthdays chickees (actually, this isn't what I was going to say, Tiger, but I've just hit a big brain glitch - think I need some fish)

When did THAT arrive? or is it left overs? Drat the sound being off
Cirrus Arrived at 15.05 Odin flew off immediately after delivery.
More feeding I see! Ah ... I see Pam has seen Odin arrive with a fish :-))
