Hi everyone, It was quite a day yesterday. Titch showing off his flying skills, landings not so good
Didn't see much as was out for most of the morning. Afternoon had its moments, with fish deliveries, intruder alerts, and flying practice In all a typical osprey family day again.
What will tomorrow bring!!!! Titch is home alone, EJ , after a late night snack with junior, flew off about 11pm to roost. The other two are probably nearbye but Junior still prefers the safety of the nest.
Happy viewing night shift and we do value all your contributions as it keeps us informed of whats gone on or not as the case may be overnight. Hope I'm not being pompous about that.
Take care all. Night, night.

Phooee - Eldest lauds it as usual . Hope Odin brings a fish too. Good captures Lindy
Usual noises - lots of shouting by all. Poor Titch is left out again! (I think thats him)
It is Lindy - keeping an eye on the fish tail
Left out in the cold! - 2 despondent ones...
I could well be wrong, but I was watching as EJ came in, and thought that Tich got in quickly from the right side of the nest, where he'd been for a while, took the fish, and the eldest was last to land and has been trying to pinch the fish ever since. It was a bit behind EJ though, so may have missed something. Second chick making most noise..??
Now I'm thinking could Tich really hold off Eldest, who is the most aggresive...?
And here's EJ with another fish - Great!
Another Edit --I think it is Odin now, a lot of white on the head.
Certianly was chaos on tne nest for a while there and the fish is not for sharing so I hope Odin comes with a fish as well to give the others a chance. The chick eating is mantling over it but even so Titch is watching carefully to see if it can get a bit of it.

14 42 and Odin with a fish and yet more chaos let's hope the other 2 get something now.
Hi everyone, very wet and miserable day up here in the highlands :o)
Not sure which ones are on the nest at the moment but the one who hasn't got the fish is trying to pinch it from the one who does but it doesn't seem to have the courage to go for it!
EJ just arrived with an EJ sized fish :o) No need to worry now, they'll all get fed :o)
Just logged on again after lunch to find all three on the nest . Thanks for all the posts and pics.
It looks like eldest has got the fish and Titch or Middle is eyeing it up. Trying from the side to get in there and have some of it. Crickey, one is making a heck of a noise.Full nest a moment ago as EJ flew in and one that has just flown off , few back in. Its all go.
Great captures, everyone. That second one I just snapped, its a tangle of bird and feathers.
