Well there's been drama and domestic bliss during the day. We saw a delightful scene where Odin brought in a fish, not sure what to do with it as EJ was off the nest but then proceeded to feed the chicks, flew off with it then returned and carried on, all rather bizarre but he completed the task.
Not sure how many fish were delivered but all seem satisfied.
Pic coming up of night scene at present
Happy viewing and keep us informed as usual to all our late night owls both here and abroad.

And EJ left again - she did come back, right? My eyes didn't deceive me?
Oh thanks Scylla; thought I might've been imagining things. Those chicks are really trying out their wings today.

Annette, talking of showing off - Star even tries to stand on one leg at one point here! Her wingspan is amazing, and she looks so powerful!
IMAGICAT
Star removing the barricade. It was wingercizing and the barricade was in the way. So let's remove it LOL
Star was exercising it's wings right in front of the camera. Then Storm thought that must be the "exercise section" so it came right in front of the camera to do a little wing exercises too :)
I think Roy is right on target for ringing next week as I watched Star exercising . It is getting some real strength in it's wings and legs . It is able to stand the entire time while beating it's wings and did not topple over.
This young lady is taking over the place!
Hi Barbara Jean: I guess they'll be naming them too then. Both chicks seems to have worn themselves out and are sitting down again; just saw a little sideways head movement from the chick in front. EJ's spending more time out of the nest, but maybe she's close by.
Amazing wingspan! (This is an accidental duplication of the vid on the previous page... never mind, I'll leave it.)
Great close up of Star too.
Star is developing quite rapidly. Did you see all the down flying as it exercises?
