Hi everyone.
Can't believe how fast this evening has flown in. Well yestarday was an exciting day with fish deliveries in the wind, intruders being swiftly dealt with, and the youngsters getting closer to making their first flight. Especially when one levetated several inches above the nest. Wonderful stuff. Can't wait to see what tommorrow brings. :-)

Fish all gone now - must have been small - time to wingercise and cause trouble for Mum....
Another chick has now got the fish and is eating ... no agro yet from the first one!

None of them can be hungry or there would be more fighting over the fish.
