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.

Hmph - I see ELdest has bagged the fish tail much to Middle youngster's annoyance.
All look very similar from the back, don't they??
No no no !!!! I didn't I assure you LIndy ! (wipes brow ) no no no. It's all B and B right? Let's forget her.
I'l willing Eldest just to bog off now.
They are a noisy bunch these days!
Oh Elest has. 'bout time he caught his own fish :)
EJ's just flown off and so has the eldest. Who is next to go......
Got your wish and hes gone....
EDIT: Sounds really windy up there at LG again today.
Yesss that nest jump WAS a fledge in its self - go Middle youngster go
One of the GEMs (#2 I think) just sort of floated across the nest from left to right, about a couple of feet in the air. I think there might be another fledging today. :-)

Let's hope so Heron. I'm willing it . :)
