Hi everyone, Thanks for all your posts and pics yesterday, they were great. And thanks to all who posted clips of the goings on etc.
Annette, you said you may not make it on tonight because of personal committments,, hopefully we'll see you at some time during the course of today.
Its been a day of complete misery insomuch as the weather situation. A day of rain mostly although it has cleared up tonight. Lots of comings and goings and they kept us all amused.
Happy viewing to our night shift and to the early morning bloggers as well.
I'll leave you with two pics taken round about 11.45pm last night on the next post.

Just as I thought I was going to bed Some one ( the eldest I think) has a fish and is having a temper tantrum because it is difficult to tear apart . It is flapping it's wings and screeching at the fish.
Now Titch is loudly yelling for a fish as he walks around the nest .
EDIT Titch just pinched a small piece of the fish right out from under the other chicks beak. Now Titch just pinched a "larger" piece . The chick with the fish must be #2. The eldest would have put up a fight.
Morning all ... thanks to the nightshift! One young one eating ... another eating scraps .... I thought there were only two, but a third wandered in from the left!. Only one left now ... I think!

The eldest ( I think) just arrived . It is #2 with the fish and is still struggling very hard trying to fed itself
The eldest is sneaking up on #2 . Now The eldest just walked to the edge of the nest and flew off .
The struggling chick is still working on the fish. It must have gotten it torn open enough to eat because it is not screeching at the fish in frustration any more.
As this was unfolding I saw an Osprey fly off in the distance from the direction of EJ's tree. . Maybe EJ was watching this and went to get another fish before there is another nest fight.
Someone just flew back to the nest. The one who was eating gave up and walked away and the other one has taken over the fish!

The one eating scraps actually pinched them from the one with the fish. It just reached under it's beak and took some fish . Now I am wonder if the one with the fish is Titch. The eldest doesn't struggle like that
Morning all. Doesn't look a very pleasant day at LG - much like here! I can only see 2 on the nest and haven't a clue which is which. One is eating heartily and keeping his/her strength up for flying exercise.
Morning, All: I wouldn't have noticed what day it was anyway, as I'm not at my best in the mornings!
Picture from the still cam of this mornings fish, (I think) but the time on the cam seems to have gone haywire....
....or is this yesterdays?????
EDIT: Now I'm even more confused than I was!!!
Hi Barbara Jean - I think you are right ... Titch is eating ... he keeps squeaking to his fish!!! Must go and do breakfast things ... back later.
EDIT - morning patriciat and Linda too!
After I posed the last report I came back and it looks like someone else may have the fish , but I am not sure. I didn't hear a fight
There is another chick on the nest sitting on the far side of the nest
