Hi everyone, been a bit hit and miss yesterday. Very windy conditions and the youngest almost made it but not quite. I think 4 fish were delivered in total. The wind has died down now and there are two peaceful looking ospreys on the nest Eldest one is probably roosting nearbye. Happy viewing to the night shift, see you all in the morning.

Both parents are looking round to see where there offspring have got to
Can't believe the other two are not hungry. Titch still tucking in to the fish.

EJ has decided to eat some herself. Good for her.
Morning all - it is still morning but only just - I'm very late this morning ... things to do, people calling etc!!! It seems I've missed Odin bringing a fish for youngest and EJ bringing a fish for herself :-) Is that Odin still on the nest? ... and someone shouting off camera as well?

Morning all:) Tune in and what a din! Sounds like lots of fish on the nest but only Titch eating. I can hear another one off camera somewhere I think.
I thought EJ was going to treat herself to eating the head (at least she turned it away from the camera) but she's too concerned with calling her wayward youngsters back to the nest.
really must go now!
Unknown said: You are all so lucky to be able to have the sound on. I can only have it on occasionally as my wimp of a dog is frightened of the sounds! We have someone who flighs a bird of prey on the field at the back of our house and when she hears its bell she comes hurtling in to the house to hide. Have to get ready for work soon :-( so will have to catch up later.

Oh Trish !!!! Bad show pooch. It must be horrendous on bonfire night. Hope work goes well for you
Odin is staying on the nest quite a while, EJ has hold of the fish and is gently calling but still no sign of the other two. Odin has now gone onto the very edge of the nest ,left hand side.
EJ has now decided to take some for herself. Youngest is enjoying the fish to himself, he keeps chunnering as he's eating.
