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.

I sure hope not DJoan
Well, she's got something at least - she'll need some more today but what she has should stop her feeing hungry. Hope she can manage the tail.
Been in the garden so is that middle one eating now or Titch.

I presume that is Middle eating now ... looks to be a reasonable bit of fish left.

DjoanS I caught a quick glimpse of what was left and it was quite decent. Patience was rewarded but wish it would be more assertive when food is around. As i type can hear youngster pulling fish off.
It seems Youngest is not the only juve to 'talk to his fish'
EDIT - Yes, DJoan, Margobird it is Middle juve eating now.
Thanks Cirrus - I didn't think it would give up and fly off if there was a chance of food. Just had another good look at the fish and it is quite a big bit left. No-one will go hungry today ... not that it will stop them screeching for more :-))
There must have been a decent amount left as middle youngster still eating.
Unknown said: It seems Youngest is not the only juve to 'talk to his fish' EDIT - Yes, DJoan, Margobird it is Middle juve eating now.
Cirrus that will confuse me even more if middle juve starts talking to this fish. Good to see it is still eating and in peace too. Good job EJ comes in with such whoppers. Now shrieking and mantling must be an intruder and can hear Odin I thnk with his sharp whistle. Spoke to soon about middle juve being left in peace.
For crying out ! Did Middle juve just do herself out of fish Odin just brought to the nest - all because she was too busy protecting the runt end of a fish EJ brought? sigh
