Another new day and thanks to ChloeB we now have an easy way of checking the age of the chicks to the nearest millisecond! (well nearest hour anyway) See chicks ages.
Tiger Signature
0417hr Fish delivery - didn't hear him coming :o Odin looks beautiful!
IMAGICAT
Evening/morning all: Very, very busy day; didn't get home 'til early evening and fading very fast.
Tiger: Thanks for starting us off
Barbara Jean/Scylla: Thanks for pix and posts! One fish already; very good!
Barbara Jean: Hope you haven't floated away!
I'm waaay too tired to watch tonight; eyes spinning and am slumped in front of telly. Probably will crash very early. Take care. Will check in tomorrow!
Feaking lesson. (Supporting Barbara Jean's narrative above.)
Hello and goodnight to Annette :))
BTW - When I looked in at 0347hr EJ wasn't there, and she didn't come back until 0409hr - so I wonder if she got herself something to eat?
But would she do that without feeding the chicks?
Star is curious and very interested in mimicing EJ. Storm wants to let everyone take care of it !!
Storm needs to grow up soon
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
The Gems wake up to a mumless nest, do a bit of toileting and wingercising and settle down, then EJ flies in, empty-footed, after a prolonged absence, and they all settle down together. A few minutes later the nightcam goes off and Odin brings a fish.
You're right, Barbara Jean, Storm is much less mature than Star. I put it down to the pasting s/he took as a babe ;)
Video stream has gone down, both on Carnyx and RSPB :'(
Morning all, Great photos/ clip of early feed, Barbara Jean/ Scylla. Odin posing as usual :-)
Difficult to be sure (I'm not 100% awake yet, and don't have specs on!) but I think that fish was whole, and EJ had the first few beakfuls, while the GEMs were getting in each other's way, so she isn't starving (especially if it was the head).
Cam is still down: probably just as well for me - I really need to get on with a few things before I go to work, and won't if I can osprey watch instead - but hope they get it sorted quickly.
Wonderful info and pics from overnight. Many Thanks.
This mornings still! 'Typical teenager,Where's MUM'
