Hi everyone,
Its been an uneventful day except that EJ went fishing for the first time since the chicks came along and brought back a whopper of a fish. I believe there was a total of 8 brought to the nest but will be corrected if I am wrong.
Two of our young ospreys were preening but now only one who has got up and is still at it. The other two are asleep.
Nearly the end of June already and look how they've grown!!
Enjoy the night viewing wherever you are. Night, night.

I didn't see her come in but EJ must have brought the fish. It must be large because she is working hard to tear it up.
Large Old Fish?

Oh great ... EJ's been fishing again! She has a reputation for only bringing huge fish to the nest, so I bet this is a biggie :-)

It was a large rainbow trout, no doubt straight from the fish farm.
Glad to hear it was a bggie. She'd had the head to herself and I really couldn't make out what was left, not on full screen

Evening everyone. How these chicks have grown. They look almost full size lined up eating from mum. Notice the number of fish dropped today and the parents were absent for longer periods. They develop at quite a pace and soon it will be time for ringing and tagging. Thank goodness the wind has dropped.
I can't see the fish , but It was a large fish, they are all still eating
Looking at the line up I have changed my mind on the sexes. I still think #2 is a female, and #1 is a male, but now I think Titch is also a female . #1 is smaller than the others

#1 is on the left. #2 in the middle and Titch on the right
They may not have had as many fish as per normal but they will nevertheless have full tummies to see them through the night.
I;m not even going to attempt the sexes- like the names I'll wait and see, Glad you have them sorted Barbara - for today anyway lol
Thanks for all the captures , as always.
lovely to read that EJ's been fishing and she only "does" big fish!
One had enough. Thought it was EJ to start with, it looks so big.
