I think a fish is required
No fish!
A quiet night, including the usual flyabouts by Aila, then, when she returned from one of them, chick #2 (?) decided that she was unwelcome and "attacked" her for nearly 10 minutes (interrupted by a buffer):
Nice early FISH !!!

Louis delivered a fish about 40 minutes ago. Just sorting some snaps.
Holy Moly Louis has just delivered another fish, so I reckon that's 3 fish this morning and its only 06.45 am.
A Gold star for Louis
These snaps are from the delivery 40 mins ago.
Louis lands and Aila waits a bit before then having a fish tussle.
A bit of a struggle getting the fish
Then it looked like Aila was wanting to feed Louis :-)
Louis hung around a bit moving bark around while Aila fed the chicks
Now this snip is from the latest fish delivery
I think Louis deserves The Fisherman of the Year award. :-)

Well that didn't last too long, Aila had a bit of bother downing the fish tail, but she got there, could actually see it drop down her throat.
Aila is on and off the nest at the moment
The two bobs look like they are scratching the itchy bits :-)
Aila did come back but she is off again now
Bob is looking like "I love my Mum" LOL

Contrasting behaviour ;)
Aila brought in a solid clod:
Chick wasn't pleased at being disturbed:
Fish please

I've got my sound muted but I can see Aila fish-calling - the kids are lying down, one with head up.
Good to see Aila and the chicks have had a meal this morning. Aila has been looking around anxiously, possibly keen to see another fish arrive? There is a lot of large pieces of bark on the nest, as well as the large clump of ? brought in by Aila earlier. It makes a good pillow!
