Hi, all quiet on the nest, EJ must be close by in her tree, leaving the young ones the spread of the nest.
I think it was 8 fish in all yesterday.
Night, night, see you all in the morning.

All quiet again ... false alarm! Time for snoozing/watching/preening.

Fish time methinks! Yes ... here he comes ... EJ all excited! All up and watching Odin fly off.
10.53 and Odin delivers, backward walk and chicks all joining in.
Margobird
Fish #4 at 10.53 ... and all tucking in as if they hadn't seen a fish since yesterday ... but very civilised!
They are civilised at feeding time DjoanS and such a pleasure to watch this year. They have just been so well fed that there has been no need for sibling rivalry especially as Titch stood up for itself right from the beginning.
3 fatties stuffed again and now time for beak sharpening, preening and helping Mum with the housework.
Fish is finished at 11.06 ... must have been a bigger one this time! Young ones now mooching about and stretching ... and beak cleaning ... and scratching ... and watching the world ... in fact everything you would expect from adventurous young ospreys :-))
Feeding time certainly is lovely to watch this year margobird, but things may change when they are feeding themselves and they need to grab a fish as it comes in! However, they have had a great start and the way that Odin brings in fish they should all get enough.
afternoon all
Thanks for all the great reports and captures:)
Been very quiet since I logged on, lots of snoozing:)
Off to start my day, catch up later
I'm back - nice to see there's been Fish No. 4 already - thanks for reports and great pictures, All!
ps: Kids home alone, at the moment, very quiet on the nest.
