Thunderstorms last night knocked out LG webcam (and Dyfi) so we started the day anxious to know what was happening - had Druie taken to the skies again, how were the fish deliveries faring etc. It was the afternoon before the internet was restored to LG and sure enough, there was Druie on the nest :-)
My access to the DU is so slow that I haven't been able to catch up properly but one thing I was astonished to see was Odin nest-cupping! Druie's only just fledged - definitely not time yet for the traditional scraping and crossed sticks!
When I checked the webcam close to night cam time (expecting ENS) the whole family appeared - Odin providing another late night fish. Amazingly the 3 sisters are together tonight on the nest - anyone would think they were huddling together for warmth!!!
Here's a snap - I'm not even going to try and work out who's flapping...

Good night all
Goodnight, and from me too :-)

Looks like I've just missed you, Limpy - been catching up, thank you for all your efforts today. Good to see the girls coming to the nest and eating there - the visits will be so much shorter when they grab the fish and fly off with it. Thanks to everyone for updates.
Druie all alone tonight (but I'm glad it is not ENS).
Edit: Now see that Scylla said goodnight too while I was posting - goodnight, Scylla!
Thanks for the updates etc, just caught up with todays comings and goings. That pic of them in the tree is great and as you say, one to keep, have copied it to my library.

Suddenly woke so I'll go create new DU (no thunderclaps this evening but there was a wonderful sunset over London)
