We're having a midnight feast! Well, a night-time feast.
EJ got up at 0325hr:
She began to feed herself and the chicks from last night's leftover:
Right thru DAYCAM @ 0339hr:
#3 was hidden all the way thru, but at the end contributed to an almost symmetric array of chicks:
Then EJ settled back on the chicks, giving their heads protection at least ;-)

It never fails SCYLLA, does it - something always happens when we are otherwise occupied, but you capture so many other things for everyone to see which is greatly appreciated.
LIMPY - lovely pictures and I noticed in the video that these chicks are nosey. Don't they know they are supposed to lie flat when mum is alarm calling!
Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for wonderful captures and videos. I'm impressed at how huge those chickens...ehrm chicks are. Growing overnight ad during the day too! :-)
Tiger's Osprey News
Such excitement today with a hatch at Dyfi and an osp seen (by me) at last at RW, and that absolute whopper brought in by dear Odin. There appears to be no fish remaining now; not surprising that it lasted for three feeds though. Chicks are in a bundle together and EJ is playing umbrella once more. The sun has come out and all is well with the world.

It certainly is SHEILA
EJ is again on a pile of chicks and can't keep her head up. :D
Kids, stop moving and let me sleep

Great capture, LIMPY - I missed it entirely.
A couple of rather pointless stills ;-)
BTW, has anyone heard/seen anything about the reason for the loss of sound? I'm assuming it's a hardware problem and that we won't have sound for the rest of the season - in which case, I shall be missing a lot more :-(
Odin comes to the nest with no fish.

Ping has a go at nest tidying.
SCYLLA I have read nothing about the lack of sound at all. It is certainly easy to miss action, a bit like RW.
