Laddie back, hope he wasn't hoping for fish, Lassie still eating and only the tail end left.
No wonder they didn't want anymore, that was quite a big fish.

21:06 Fish delivery from Laddie. #3 was at the back and didn't get anything during the very brief 6 minute session, its crop still looks full from the previous feed
21:12
Just before 21:30, Laddie came to the nest and flew off with the fish
21:47 Laddie brought the fish back, I don't think his ears could take anymore shouting from Lassie! lol
Lassie feeding the chicks. #1 and #2 have had a top up, #3 getting a good feed
21:57 Lassie settled onto the chicks to brood.

Morning and thanks for all the updates and lovely captures. The chicks are really getting big and Lassie is now having to expand her wings a little to cover those every growing chicks.
