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.

That GEM is not giving up. Still out of sight and still shouting.

Hi, just logged on to find one youngster on the nest shouting away. He is persistent.Will catch up later.
A BIRD ON THE NEST.
It is calling and mantling,
Well, as one of the judges for the Osprey HGs I award this one the prize for Best Imitation of EJ Defending the Nest. He/she had her stance - sorry I didn't capture it but I was doing some washing! He/she had her persistent noisy call; and was mantling very well.
Got to go and do something about some dinner for tonight. I will leave you with GEM shouting and mantling, such a noise little devil. Might get back on tonight. Good viewing and hopefully someone will come with a fish soon.
Hi Everyone - I think this is fish soliciting - a hungry GEM 3 it looks like. Happy cooking Margo
A hungry GEM on the nest ... telling the world he is not pleased.
