Hi folks, It was a fantastic day yesterday, despite the wind. There was a fledginging of the eldest chick and confirmed by the LG team.
Lots of wing exercising by all three, I think 4 fish were delivered, and intruder alets at times. In all, a normal day .
All quiet on the nest, the usual fidgiting going on.
Happy viewing, see you in the morning.

Ahhhh ... the one without the fish is begging to be fed!

Two birds are eating, & I would say that its No 2 who is without any food. (???)
Odin brought the second one Joan. Just after EJ left the first. He held onto it for a few minutes while the fighting was going on.
Oh ... so that was Odin on the branch, having brought the second fish, who got attacked by the chick with the first fish ... this is getting complicated!
Thanks Lindybird, I just thought for a moment there was an intruder when I saw chick attack the adult
Yes the chick with the first fish wanted the second one too!
As somebody just said, this is tough love! I wonder if EJ will bring another fish for the other chick!
Chirping off screen and they all dropped flat ... intruder about? I noticed one continued eating even while flat on the nest!
I think Odin's fish was complete with head so the chick with that fish (on the right) is having quite a job eating it. It has its back to us at the moment. (Wish they had names)
This has been an amazing half an hour - and I only came into the house from being out all day, just before then! (Of course, the 1st thing I do besides put the kettle on, is to switch on here & log in!!)
