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.

Just a quick note to let you all know that ringing is going on right now on the Saaksi-Marjaniemi-Hailuoto
Osprey website. They just grabbed the first osprey chick...
EJ looks as if she's just brought in a whopper ... I think its still flapping :-(

oh woah.... this has to be an EJ fish (been gone a while) - hooray . So I'm content ALL will be fed once Eldest has decided he's had his share Now to read back posts
bjane - many thanks for the info regarding the ringing and hello to you 'cos I have not met you before
oh rats! it always seems to be Middle youngster that gets left till last. Shades of Mallachie
Cirrus - Everything about Middle youngster reminds me of Mallachie ... is it 'middle chick syndrome'???
Evening everyone. What a busy scene on the nest. Hello again to Tiger, welcome to quietwoman and any other newcomers to the Daily Update. I couldn't post last night due to heavy demand of computers - we have three including mine and all were needed so I had to take a back seat :-(
Family out at present so I am capitalising on their absence. Will need to read back to catch up on the day's events but I presume no fledging of #2 and #3. Wonder if their table manners have improved or if #1 is still dominating feeding time. Back soon. Emma
hah !! Odin always was a succer for his middle hatched. Great to see dad feed the youngster.
But hopefully since it was only a small fish, Odin will get his fill and EJ will feed the youngster later.
