TRANSFERRED OVER...
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
She's back again but pic still wobbly Could it be 33
maya seems more relaxed Standing on one leg BFN
CHOL:):) like me patily, we keep hanging on doh!!!!!
Morning all and thanks for all the updates and captures.
Missed delivery, but I see 33 has not long delivered a fish,and Maya now feeding the chicks.
08:31 still feeding and some more fish for #3. I notice #3's head is now getting darker
08:35 Feed over
Maya now settles down doing her best to cover the chicks

So it is KAREN (#3's head) . Good to see your captures of this one being fed :)
33 must have taken the fish away to eat and now returns it. Maya gives the chicks another top up
#3 is quick of the mark and gets a piece :-)
33 showing face while the chicks eat
Maya offers but no one wants more, even #3 here who keeps its beak closed :-)
09:24 chicks all full and Maya continues to feed herself.

Another top up and again, #3 quickly gets in first
#2 remains at the bottom of the nest, not hungry. Now #1 has joined #3 and has a few bits of fish
10:20 #1 and #3 are full. Maya makes her way down the nest and offers #2 some who never joined the feed
10;21 Maya finished feeding and starts cleaning up the nest.
33 arrives. A stick lands over a chick's back and he then lifts it and throws it over to Maya. 33 walks around quite clumsily ... grrrrr
They both then have a right tussle over the stick. Chicks keep down out of the way
Eventually Maya places it and 33 picks up the fish tail.
33 now flown with it
10:45, 33 quickly returns with the fish and Maya snatches it and begins to eat. Chicks stay down .. either full or know their dad is somewhat clumsy!
10:48 Oh where does #3 put it all. #3 lifts its head and Maya gives it some more fish :-)
33 flown
Lovely captures Karen. Wish the view out of my window was sunshine. #3 looks like a wee ball.
Thanks Lmac:-) Overcast here too but at least it is dry! I see thunder is forecast later at MB :-(
Chicks are sleeping just now. Watched Maya eating, only #2 took a little as it missed out on the earlier feed, and am sure the fish has gone. Much bigger appetites now. Hopefully 33 brings in a fish soon.
Some gardening to see to now so I'm off for a bit. SYL
