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 eating from the fish, noone seems interested, middle one has just had a major wing flapping session. Ah, youngest is being fed.
EJ feeding #2 & #3 at the moment. Bright and breezy here this morning. missed delivery. No sign of #1.
Good. Cirrus is happy cos both Youngest (first up) and now Middle youngster is getting a feed. I had expected Eldest to come down from its 'seat of power' and grab all the spoils.
Lovely to see they have both had some fish.
I am off out now to meet daughter for lunch.
It's a laugh a minute hearing fully grown young osps pretend they are wee chicks with wee chick noises to solicit the fish tail from EJ. What a mum.
EDIT enjoy lunch Brenda
It looks like the youngest is sitting, middle one at the side slightly off cam on left hand side. Eldest has just flown back to the cam post but sounded like he was off again and middle one was watching all the way.
Eldest just returned to the post with a clunk and a shriek ... he must like to impress his siblings... "I'm back ... look at me!"

It sounds like the eldest is back on the cam post and is calling.
Lovely odin snap, DjoanS.
One chick doing yoga, then both down flat, but no noises so I don't know what it was.

Whatever it was has gone now. While I was catching up and watching the nest in the corner of the screen, I thought there was ony one chick, then realised it's hiding off to the left, you can sometimes just see a beak LOL
