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.

Night vision on and Eldest looks as if he's got to the end of his and is tackling to tricky bit, the tail.
Titch finishes off his fish in the foreground. #2 is determined to get a bit more of #1's fish at the back of the nest:
EDIT: Last pic of the day in colour.
Eldest has finished his, and Middle is shrieking for some. Titch isn't giving up any of his yet. Middle must be hungry.And off eldest goes. Now who got that, there was a bit of a fracas but I think Titch hung onto his fish.
Titch flies off and #2 muscles #1 off his fish!
Odin delivers another fish!!!
Odin flew in and left it for the Middle one to claim. He eventually did but it was still alive and he was not quite sure how to handle it. Now he has got it firmly in his talons and is tucking into it.
Looks like he's abandoned it and gone onto the cam post above the nest. still chirping away. All that fuss and he leaves most of it on the nest. Titch is still eating his whale of a fish brought in by EJ.

Alan: That was so funny, I was trying to take captures and posting updates so missed the delivery - looked back in and couldn't work out what was going on, was wondering where another fish came from!!
Sandy : I had similar problems trying to record a clip of Odin delivering the fish, and then the fish jumping around the nest with the juve looking at it and wondering what to do about it. In the end I forgot to press record.
Looks like Titch has got to the end of that whopper of a fish and is eating the last remaining bits.
