Thank you for starting us off for the second half of the year, KAREN :)

As always, I'm several hours behind - please forgive me for posting yesterday's curly poop portrait:

Is Telyn's right foot still sore? She is staning on just he left at the side of the nest as the chicks sleep
Hope her footis 100% cued by the time she has to fish for herself

Earlier in the day she was standing on left leg, later she swapped to the right (injured) foot :)   I couldn't get a shot looking from the outer edge of her foot.

Thanks, Karen, for the new thread and to Everyone for the pics and comments. Fingers crossed that Telyn's foot heals quickly with no compications.

I think that Telyn had a good day, even the intruder was scared off effectively with body language and chips without the kids having to pancake ;)

After a peaceful night, from what I can see, Monty brought in a good fish about an hour ago and Telyn flew in right away to feed the chicks:

Peaceful scene with Telyn on the nest guarding 3 preening chicks
No sign of Monty but evidently he brought a fish at about 4.30 an the hungry chicks had a good feed

NEW LINK sent out @ 09:30

This is an experiment - I shan't make a habit of it, as it might look as tho I'm claiming that DOP took the snap, or that I "belong" to MWT :o  But I've never tried making a watermark before, and now it's done ;)

Telyn was delivering a stick:

Ditto Monty:

Looking good - at least, it's looking uninfected :)

She was quite happy taking all her weight on her right foot while preening :)

Then the cam went down, hence the new link at the start of this post.
