Hi all, Fairly quiet day. Morning activity then youngsters were on and off the nest at times during the afternoon and evening. Until EJ landed with a whopper of a fish in the late evening. Two juves were on the nest and what a tussle took place. Gary has a video link for it and I placed a series of pics on yesterdays update along with others who also posted the Battle of the Titans tussle.
Now we have an abandoned part eaten "whale" on the nest and nobody around to eat it.The wind still sounds fierce. Over to the night shift, happy viewing. See you all in the morning.No, I won't be able to catch up till a lot later in the day.

OK, well a second chick has left and now think we just have the chick off-cam at left and EJ.
I'm signing off. Have a nice Wednesday folks.
I can't see the juve with the fish. I can only see the fish and some legs , but from the sounds of it I think it is Titch. He has been grumbling and complaining with every beak-full. Titch is very vocal when he eats. He gets mad at the fish because it is difficult for him to tear up LOL

EJ just delivered another fish. Titch I think is still eating his fish. Middle came in for a meal and EJ is looking around for Eldest . Middle wanted to take the fish but she plans on serving this fish too.
It is a thinner fish not as fat as the last few whales . EJ looking around for Eldest (I think) again
Morning all ... thanks for overnight nest reports. Logged on to see one young one eating part of a fish.... Titch I think because he's talking to it!
Now EJ has flown in with another fish ... closely followed by another young one ... and she is feeding it ... possibly Middle because it didn't try to snatch the fish!

Good Morning All. Thanks for all earlier reports and pictures. EJ is still feeding a chick and herself.
Have a hairdressing appointmet at 9.00am so I can't watch for long.
Thanks Annette for welcome.
Enjoying watching EJ (bless her) feeding noisy 'Titch' who appears to be worryingly timid but vocal.

Morning, All. EJ alone on the nest at present, just mulling over the possibilities of the day.
Thanks for overnight reports & pics : there seems to have been plenty of fish around!
E J still on nest with remains of fish. Can't give it away. What a wonderful Mum, so dedicated to her ungrateful offspring. Such a pleasure to watch her having some peace.
Many thanks to Gary (I think) who posted that clip of Odin yesterday. I was fantastic to see him also having time on the nest without any harrasment.. Amazing bird and here's hoping both our wonderfull parents return safely next year.
Good morning all.
EJ is making little noises to herself whilst eating up these fish remains - finally!!
Tiny makes these sort of noises. He/she has inherited this trait from EJ, I suppose.
Hi m lake & Daisy Ray. Nice to see EJ enjoying some peace & quiet, and eating her bit of fish alone.
