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.

Must be eldest with the fish at the far side
Is that a very wet EJ or an intruderr? who is the Osprey at the back of the nest with EJ's big fish?
It looks like EJ is back and on the left hand side at the back. Meanwhile the eldest?? at the back is guarding his fish and Titch?? at the front is eating his. Middle one is left out. Must have been an intruder alert to bring her back.
I was just going to write that I was very confused

Must be !!!! Djoan - but where did EJ get HER fish. Did she fly in with it? They are all so wet it's making IDing very difficult
Cirrus - The one at far side of the nest has quite speckled feathers like a juvenile ... when you get a good look ... hard when its wet ... and they are wet!!!
I think EJ is finishing off Odin's fish that Youngest was eating!
OkOkOK Djoan - that's good. Where did EJ get HER fish ??
This is what I WAS going to post till I read your post DJoan Normal 0 false false false
Oh, I’ve gotta go – I’ll be late for work if I’m not careful.
Please someone have an explanation I can read when I get back.(don’t ask for much do I :) )

Titch is full and walked away from the fish that Odin had delivered earlier . Titch is nearest the camera . EJ flew in and is eating. the left over Odin fish. The way she is tearing the fish it appears she is really hungry . She is on the right side . The eldest is at the back side of the nest and very frustrated with trying to tear the fish that EJ had delivered . It is large and the skin is probably tough
#2 on the far left near the camera is just watching the commotion.
