Hi everyone, not seen much of the action yesterday as I have been on and off the computer. Believe it had its moments though.
All quiet as all three GEM's are sleeping and EJ must be roosting in a tree nearbye.
Not sure what the weather is doing, it sounded like a shower earlier.
Happy viewing, see you all in the morning.

#3 just left the food line and found the left over fish. It is acting like a normal clumsy chick trying to figure out how to eat it . It made a half hearted attempt at eating a few bites of the fish and gave up . it is full

That was just a joy to watch. It was easy to put in order youngest from oldest as they fed. At a week younger than the eldest the wee fella relied entriely on EJ for feeding, 2nd attempted the fish on its own but soon went to EJ whilst the eldest showed great relish at feeding itself. Thank goodness because there was no way I could have told them apart otherwise.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Spike Milligan
bit dark but the one nearest cam was having a go at the abandoned fish itself. Now left it at the side.
Looks like three stuffed young ones. EJ left to finish the one she brought in on her own.
Does EJ know about Odin's fish, or is this going to be another one she suddenly finds under the young ones?!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
I don't think any of us got a great view of the fish that EJ brought in but, by the length of time it's taken to devour it, I reckon it must have been up to her usual standard!
Now gone to night vision and EJ is still eating. The young ones have settled down and one is chunnering away now and then.
Glad to see that they've had a good late night feed because there is some indifferent weather heading their way shortly.
She seems to have finished now and is looking "out to sea" so to speak. The three are nicely settled.
Its raining and the three are huddled together with EJ at the side of the nest.
