LOL she is off again - she has the taste for it now. And back :-D
Maya has taken the fish and now all four juvies are on the nest.

Aww bless, 057 is tired after her eventful day
And I am having an early night too! BFN
Morning ALL - just now ENS
However about 30 minutes ago, 057 was on the nest and after a few flaps, jumps she eventually flew off. Maya landed a few minutes ago, followed by a juvie but soon took off.
So until the next fish arrives ....
The Fantastic Four on the nest just now waiting their turn to feast on the lovely big fish that has been delivered sometime earlier.
One by one they fly off leaving 055 with the huge whole fish as I think they know it is going to be a while until they get some
33 has just brought in a large stick
