I think it was 57 ??? ... whoever it was flew from perch to nest (ascertained by cam bounce).
We have a visitor on the campole but we can only see the wings flapping now 'n then.
It's flown to the nest.
Not long back in and informed that the juvies have been well fed and one capture! :)
There was a fish delivery around 19:45 which 057 claimed and had a good nosh
When 057 was finished, one of the waiting juvies took the fish and 33 arrived with a small fish which the other juvie took.
21:38 One juvie appeared, stayed briefly on the nest and then flew off
21:58 Night cam on and no one at home!
Someone pottering around on the nest at 10:25pm

Filling in...
Campole display:
Then down to claim the fish:
They all dispersed but singletons were on and off the nest until this one returned and had a prance about before settling as snapped/reported by ADDERSUK and PATILY (who was up late tonight, I hope you're getting a good sleep now, Patily :-* ):
Had a poop and shifted position from the rear view to the side:
A period of droop-sleep:
I couldn't tell if this was due to unwelcome presence but there was quite a lot of flapping:
Then rain was apparent, and it got heavy!
Might as well have a poop to pass the time:
