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.

Sounds as though it is raining again. They are certainly getting some rough weather at the moment after all the nice days.
I just snapped #2 and #3 ... I don't know which is which ... but if you look at the back of the heads, one has a thicker brown marking from the top to the neck ... the other has a broken marking! Not much help if they are facing you though :-))
