Hi folks, It was a windy and damp day yesterday. Lots of vigorous exercising by Middle and Youngest. Thought at one time the middle one would take off, it was certainly doing so across the nest. I think 5 fish in all were delivered by both parents between them. All at rest now. Ahhhhhhhhnight, night, see you all in the morning.

Well I know EJ when I see her! Chicks flat on nest; EJ calling. Must be an intruder. Thought I heard an answering osprey, but it's the mike picking up sounds from LOTL - bird has shown up there; back in a minute!
Barbara Jean: THere's that shrill bird again - not an osprey.

An Intruder or she saw Odin in the distance. She is looking around as if she thinks he is coming . She is looking in the direction he usually comes in. Now she bolted off the nest alarm calling.
#3 (I think) is food soliciting
Oh dear. Now EJ's gone again. To and fro, to and fro. In the meantime, at LOTL, all I can see are a pair of legs!
Phone call this end, so I've missed . . . very little. LOL. I say that Eldest is off the nest right now. Otherwise I have no idea which is which!!!
Someone comes in flying overhead alarm calling. EJ? Two GEMs watching to left.
Well, chicks seem to have gone back to sleep, so I think I'll take my cue and head off to bed too.
Take care all and happy viewing.
Loud alarm call. Eldest calling into microphone? Other two flatten. EJ arrives with FISH and alarm calls over her shoulder. Eldest comes down to nest as EJ stands on fish and continues calling. Now she feeds GEMs plus calling.
Correction she is only feeding one. Another stands close by, the third stands at back of nest, flaps and mooches around.
