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.

RSPB Giving Nature a Home
I know it is off topic but I just caught this osprey fishing on the webcam at the pool in Finland:
Thanks Cirrus. By the Way, Everyone, there are some very good indeed photo shots of ospreys on a thread called "A Tale of Two Osprey Families Pt.1" written by someone called "borderslass" - she has started this thread but will not be continuing with this however, as on another thread I read yesterday that she is sadly leaving the Site because of a particularly nasty bullying situation they have had on those pages recently (well, for quite a time by the sound of it). It is always such a shame when one Bad Egg can affect everyone in this way.
If you want to find the photos, go to 'Forums' then 'Community Pages' then 'The Tearooms' before looking for the thread I describe above.
Goo evening all for some reason couldn't get the RSPB cam nor could I post a reply but have got the other one and at the moment 2 GEM's on nest, one eating andf one shouting for some. Not seeing so much of them now I wonder whether they have all had food today. Have accessed the chat through the main pae so hopefully this will go.

At last I am here. Odin delivered a fish at about 8.10pm. One of the chicks is eating and another is calling. EJ should be due with one of her whoppers.

Hello everyone, I'VE had trouble all afternoon and gave up in disgust! Now trying again.
Alan, I thought that chick 3 on this nest might feed chick 2 last week [re: your posting on the main blog about the Rutland female feeding her brother]. I don't think that's likely to happen now!!
I hope Linda's post has now stopped re-appearing !
The same chick is still eating. I must learn how to take pictures from the live camera.
At last ... I'm in ... what a pain this site is tonight! I posted a reply ages ago ... but it hasn't appeared ... I'm not repeating it ... in case it appears again ... and again ... and ......
I see we have a fish ... that just changed hands ... sorry, talons.

Hi Joan. Only the very tail end has changed talons. I presume it was Titch as he was talking to it.
"Will you stop scaring me by landing on that post!"
Two very vociferous chicks on the nest now. They want an EJ supper.
