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.

Am I seeing things or is Odin feeding one youngster to left of nest and EJ feeding two to the right?
Oh Cirrus. Thank you for confirming. Its lovely to see dad looking after middle youngster.
Oh wow ... saw 5 birds on the nest ... EJ feeding one, and Odin feeding another! And one doing its own thing :-)

18.46 Odin's fish is finished and he departs. I suspect he finished it off including the tail as #2 was making a right royal racket a few minutes before he left. He hasn't spent much time on the nest lately so it was a treat to see him there with the family. Weather looks good up at LG. Its nice in my part of the country now too but all day yesterday and today until about 5pm it was damp (soaking in fact) dreich and dismal.
It was a treat to see him with his family Emma: here's a pic

Lovely pics of the whole family Cirrus
EJ is still eating her whale ... the others have all given up. Eldest went for a flyaround and landed on the post with a clunk. I presume the other one is standing off screen to the left!
Alicat - I am wondering the same thing. Suddenly youngest wants to go too.....what an evening
No Alicat - other chick is standing just off screen to the left ... you can sometimes see a beak or head!
