Only today and tomorrow remain to downgrade to Windows10 for free ;-D

What a mysterious day for us yesterday, we suffered hungry complaining juvies all day... until evening, when each got a fine fish.
Here are BIRDIE's catchup comments and videos
What an effort - thank you, Birdie :-*
Here's my video of the missing EJ delivery
For anyone who missed yesterday altogether, this was what Odin was doing when he should have been bringing fish -
First, fiercely defending - see that tongue!
Then refurbing:
I love those poses and don't want anyone to miss them.
IMAGICAT
Good morning Clare. :-)
Tiger's Osprey News
Good morning, CLARE and NOC :-) Nice to have more company in the torture chamber ;-)
I'm going to take a break to do some Windows stuff.
Jay on the nest!
It has flown.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Very distant alarms from Odin?????
It's back again. What a beautiful bird - and how strange that it's the only species of corvid I can remember seeing on this nest!
I wonder what the ospreys make of this bird. Do they know it for a corvid or do the beautiful colours make them think it's a larger (but harmless) songbird? I know corvids are technically songbirds but it's hard to think of them as such given the less than tuneful noises they make.
Thank you, CLARE. Love jays! Remember the one we had on EJ's perch at the start of the season? Lovely views then.

However, I suddenly remembered that yesterday I set aside some footage of Rowan flying with Odin's coarse clump and messing with big sticks - I've just edited it and think it's a lovely cameo of Rowan so I'm taking the liberty of inserting it here* - couldn't finish properly as it froze.
*Hope I can be forgiven, I'm so taken with it all :-)
Back with the clump - he almost tripped up onto the nest:
Lovely set, Scylla.
Our gorgeous jay continues to pop on and off the nest.
Come closer, beautiful:
Gone again.
This isn't a jay:
Hello, Odin, gorgeousness:
He has flown.
