Hi, Its been a quiet sort of day if you don't count the wind which has been ferocious sounding at times, its the mike that picks it up.
Only 3 fish delivered all day, this no doubt due to the weather. but having said that the young ospreys have been well provided for over the last few weeks so a day without much probably won't harm them and in fact lett all that fat on them dissipate a bit, hmmmmm.
Seriously though, lets hope the weather is better today so that the ringing and tagging can take place which is scheduled for 8pm tonight.
The bairns are close together, some fidgiting going on and looking around but on the whole they are keeping their heads down with this wind.
Happy viewing everybody, see you in the morning, night, night.

Now the eldest has gone for food, so all three are feeding.
Now there's not so much left, they all decide they need some fish....
Thanks Lindybird for the confirmation of 4 fish. Trying not to think about them leaving as it makes me very emotional for them.

-Never mind, Lynette - we can't have too many pics now that they are going to fly away soon (sob, gulp)
It seems to have been a reasonably sized fish as they are still all eating.

Intruder alert, EJ is mantling

That is what I am thinking Lynette. EJ now mantling and shrieking as intruder must be around. Glad they had their meal in peace.
great clip, Alan. Intruder danger seems to have passed.
