Evening/morning all; Just setting this up before I fall into bed. Do hope the cam gets fixed soon. Thanks so much for all the updates/pix.
Titch is getting fed as well, so pleased to see this.

OH will be back with food shop soon so will be logging off. I am happy now that I have seen they have all been fed. EJ is so good making sure the little one gets some.
Odin, the proud father:
Its nice to see her taking the trouble to make sure that the little one gets some - some of it looks almost too big!! but its getting it down..
Odin brought the fish back and EJ is reaching back so the little one gets food too :) In fact the little one is getting a lot this time
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
looks like EJ is eating quite hungrily herself too!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
She certainly couldn't wait to wolf down the last tougher bits of fish for herself. Great pic of Odin, Sandy.

That was so good to see Barbara Jean wasn't it.
Unknown said: Thanks Gary, just watched your clip of the feed. That little one does try to be noticed, but it worries me that the others are so much bigger.

As long as Odin delivers a lot of fish the little one will get it's share. The older chick will eat first, but they will turn away when they are full and the little one will eat then
When the little one is bigger and stronger it will push it's way to the front

Barbara Jean: That last feed was a perfect example of what you said. The first two were fed first, until they were full and flopped over. EJ could then give Titch his share. As long as Odin keeps up this number of fish, and I have absolutely no doubt he will, then all is well.
Missed seeing most of the feed, so good to hear that the little one got a good share too.
