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.

The one in the middle who is now eating, pinched what is left of the fish ... with a struggle ... from the one who started with it! Sorry ... can't ID them :-((

#1 definitely had the fish, Joan, and now #3 I think has it with #2 lying down.
I was just going to write the same thing Sandy. Titch still has different tail markings and anyhow it is talking to the fish !

No it was #2 who got the tail-end of the fish and Titch that sat it out.
Aaah! 3 Birds again, now - like the old days!
Afternoon everyone. Thanks for all you pix, clips and updates as ever. Good to see some nest activity even though I don't really enjoy watching the youngsters compete for the fish. Had a wonderful visit to LOTL yesterday so must now catch up with domestic tasks before the new working week begins. I followed your lead and took cake (muffins and pastries to the staff. They were delighted so thank you for that tip) Will be looking in this afternoon with sound on to follow any happenings on the nest. As you say Lindybird nice to see all three on the nest
Last look for a couple of hours ... my friend is calling for a natter! Ahhhh ... lovely to see all three together :-)) Still grumbling about a lack of fish though!!!
