Hi everybody, I was a bit hit and miss yesterday as was out most of the day.
Only caught up in the late evening so not sure how many fish were delivered
A lot of action late evening with two fish being delivered by Odin and EJ, two chicks managed to hog them and I believe the Middle one was left out. EJ then delivered a whale of a fish a bit later on and the Middle one had some. Couldn't quite tackle the head so started from furter down. Then EJ flew in and started feeding it. It eventually left like the other two. EJ has stayed on the nest now for well over an hour.
I'll leave you with this pic of her before she flies away for the night.Happy viewing, night shift, see you all in the moning.

Drat. I can't study markings!!! Now Middle has flown.
When you see Middle with one or both of the others you can see Middle has darker feathers. If Middle is alone you need to go by the head markings or the mannerisms . Middle carries it's head lower and if there is danger it is the first on flat on the nest . LOL Middle is the least aggressive of the three which is worrisome . I hope it gets more assertive soon . Titch is not above trying to steal the eldest' fish . Middle will just hang back and wait
The eldest just arrived EJ must be on the way . Oops it just flew off

Titch and the eldest just came rushing to the nest shouting . Each one is staking out a spot on the nest they feel has the best chance to grab the fish when it is delivered LOL
Eldest on the branch on the right and Titch in the middle of the nest

But he arrives fishless much to youngsters disgust
Morning all ... logged on to find Odin moving sticks and noises off! No Fish!!!
Then a very noisy young one arrived looking for fish ... very disappointed ... Odin beat a hasty retreat before he got pecked :-)) Young one telling the world he's not pleased!

Hi all, logged on to find the nest................empty. What a surprise. Lovely ones of Odin, Cirrus and DJoan S.
Will be on for a short while then out the rest of the day so will have to catch up later. Got to get ready for Kids Club at Church next week.
As far as we know there hasn't been a delivery yet??
Not as far as I know Lynette (and I'm off out in less than an hour myself -do enjoy Kids Club)
Odin arrived very briefly, calling, nobody about so was off straight away.
A young one arrived on the nest calling briefly ... now standing quietly.
