Hi everyone, a mixed day, intruders about, lots of shouting and shrieking and mantling. EJ and the young ones saw them off though.
Not sure how many fish, I think 4 were delivered. All had something to eat eventually, Greedy guts (#1) hogged fish when it could but I suppose that is the norm. Middle and younges still haven't fledged but whethe they will in the next few days who knows as the weather forecast is pretty grim for this part of the country
Leave you with the bairns all close together, sleeping. Happy viewing, see you in the morning.

EJ is on the left of nest, and I think it is she who is food calling:
Morning all. Four very wet osps on the nest, a fair amount of 'chittering' and one is doing wingercises (to dry off?).. The picture of landscape behind them certainly looks much like last night's weather forecast for Scotland!
Morning all - thanks for overnight reports of fish etc! Seems like they have all had a good feed already! They all look a bit bedraggled ... and the only way I can tell EJ is by her ring :-) She is nagging Odin for more fish.

Morning All. Thanks for all reports and pictures.
EJ is feeding a 'chick' but it all looks a very wet and sorry picture this morning.
What a sorry picture. The chicks are all standing with their heads drooped, looking very sorry for themselves, as Mum calls for more fish.
EJ has been calling for a long time. She has flown off and is still shouting. She is obviously upset about something.
I'm trying to do other things and have had to switch off the sound as she is so distracting
Best wishes Chris

Hi everyone, logged on and thanks for updates and the pics of course.
At present two youngsters on the nest, middle, lft hd side, youngest rt.hnd. side I think. I would expect eldest is on cam post and mum is calling away off cam.
For anyone who hasn't noticed, Caroline Rance ( LG) has commented on the Official Diary Page. Probably to answer further stupid comments, which were made yesterday evening.
It looks like its going to be a very wet day there and a quiet one too because of the rain. Forecast was for rain so its living up to its word.
Thanks, Brenda.
