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.

Wow ... what a lot has happened while I've been catching up on gossip with my friend!! Two eating and one watching ... easy to tell Titch ... he's talking to his fish :-))

Shut up Eldest - it's Youngest that talks to his fish
Oh, OK it IS Youngest doing the talking - a bit noisier than usual
EDIT agreed Brenda - fishless youngster will just have to wait around

That latest delivery from Odin
Hi Cirrus that is the only way I know it is Titch is eating because he talks to his fish so if one of the other start doing it I will be completely flummoxed as to who it is. Well done for hiking 12 miles yesterday, hope you are having an easier day today.

Thank you Margobird - chilling out as we 'speak'. Middle youngster playing it cool by pretending it doesn't care and having a half hearted preen. I think this one is a girl too (I know several of us do ) .
Just caught up with all the pics/captures. Thanks so much, some lovely ones of them lying together:))
Crumbs - was that Eldest swallowing the fish tail? Rats! That just leaves the BIG fish which hopefully is too big to be wholly consumed by LYoungest.
Eldest bogs off leaving Middle juve trying to find pieces to eat
OH, EJ . Here's a threat - shut up Youngest your mother is here to see that ALL are fed.
EDIT she leaves again after the protest by Youngest
I see Eldest has finished his fish and departed. Titch still busy with the whale and Middle looking for scraps??? EJ paid a flying visit.
EDIT - I wish we could see Titch's fish and see how much is left ... surely he can't eat it all by himself?
Eldest ate a large proportion of EJ's large fish and has now consumed all of Odin's fish ! As they say, ' Where does it put it all ?'
