GOOD MORNING ALL
Three chicks are loafing around waiting on breakfast probably.
I think the first fledge will come from MB. :-)
Grey skies this morning.

Hi Karen, worrying times all over the place, it's difficult to keep up with it all. Yes I've just seen her doing that, hopefully she will have time to heal whatever is the problem, fingers crossed for her.
She doesn't seem keen to hold it with her right foot, do they tend to hold their fish with their left in the main I wonder. Off to do a google.
No idea Jane but I suppose they need to hold with one and balance on the other so perhaps that is where the problem is - both requiring pressure which she can't seem to do.
I am wondering if she has pulled a muscle or hurt a tendon/ligament? Such a shame, I just hope she heals.
Off now - SYL

Maya arrived on the nest beside T6. 33 has just delivered a fish which Maya takes
33 has flown and Maya moves over with the fish to T6 and feeds T6 -

One of the other juves has now arrived and getting fed by Maya. T6 standing along side but not pushing. Hopefully she got a substantial amount
The other juve seems to have had enough and T6 leans in and gets some more
Now just T6 and Maya on the nest and T6 gets another couple of bits

Looks like the fish is finished now as Maya appears to be cleaning up
Good to see t6 has moved a distance and also the she has eaten. Thanks Karen
