For those who didn't have time to go thru yesterday's DU pages (even tho there weren't as many due to it being Moffer's birthday and she was missed), here is a lovely snap of EJ with #1 (those wings! and where was #2?!) which Moffer posted from RSPB Operation Osprey's Facebook page:
At least 3 fish and some intrusions yesterday, each dealt with appropriately.
This was EJ returning from the briefest of flyarounds @ 0022hr:
Not a lot of sleep, but some, so far.
IMAGICAT
FISH @ 12.50. They are watching someone. Is the intruder still around?
EJ is just finishing feeding the chicks the tail of fish 1, after having a meal herself.

We have the whole family:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Big One is heading for Daddy, who just happens to be holding the fish:
Big One is now sitting on the fish:
Odin is clearly wondering what to do in this situation!
He decides to potter:
He's off:
Odin is waiting for EJ to take it. #1 is giving him attitude! LOL.
#1 has the fish, so funny
much confusion for Odin
he's flown.
Two happy well fed chicks and a fish spare.
She's feeding Little One:
Odin's alarm calling off cam. EJ looks up
I think it's fair to say EJ is watching something:
Odin lands to defend the nest
Hello, Odin, gorgeousness:
Lots of alarm calling going on.
