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.

When #2 finally fledges, I wonder where he will perch. Maybe by then Eldest will be more venturous and will settle in camera tree. Yet on camera pole he can see fish coming in and fly down to nest quickly.
EJ is still eating.
#2 looks like it is studying a bug on the nest.
#3 is wishfully looking over the edge of the nest
And it is raining again
EDIT Now EJ is full and is standing on about 1/3 rd of the fish . She is looking around perhaps hoping Odin will come and she can give it to him . :)

#2 decided it would eat more and EJ is happily feeding it
One has come back for seconds.
#2 has given up and EJ is feeding Titch again. not much of that fish is left !!!
EJ just swallowed the tail. Amazing that they were able to eat that huge fish in one go .
I am happy EJ had a good feed of the "good bits" too. So often after the chicks eat there is not much left for her but the skin and the tail
Oh no EJ is calling. Is Odin on his way with a fish ?
That fish is finished after 1 hr 20 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a whopper. EJ is cleaning her talons, then flossing.
EJ flies off, still food soliciting.
Raining
Anyone out there? I'm off to get tea. Two wet GEMs standing on nest. Someone is screeching in distance.
