Well, hello all, Wasn't able to be around at all yesterday as tied up with final day of Kids Summer Club and Concert. Fab week, but can now get back to serious osprey watching.
Seems it was a varied day with deliveries of fish and comings and goings of youngsters on the nest. Some fantastic shots by lots of you and have saved some for my portfolio. At present EJ is still on the nest as she was when I logged on about 11.30pm yesterday. Over to the night shift, happy viewing, see you in the morning.

Second juve on the nest has managed to pinch some from its sibling and is eating. There is calling off cam so third juve must be around as well.
Noisy one is at it.
Third juve is now on the nest and shouting for some food. Second one has gone back to sibling to try and get more. Come on brother, give us all some!!!!!!!!!!
Juve on the left of pic has finished and second juve took over and then hopped over with fish to nearside by the camera.
One that had the fish at first has just flown off, could be the Eldest. Maybe it is Titch now eating and Middle screeming for some.EJ comes in with fish and the one left out claims the prize, mantles, shouts and now all is quiet as both chicks have a fish. I think it was EJ not Odin judging by the size of the fish.
I see its the usual fighting over the food, Lynette. So different from when they were all polite as little chicks on the nest: they are making up for it now with stealing, pinching, shouting & general shenanigens!
Looks a fair sized fish - they are quieter now:
Thanks to All who posted in the night and early hours.
I have to go out now but will return later....
One juve left on the nest eating, and alarm calling, intruders must be about. Now quiet again.
One left eating, was cleaning his beak and has now left. Small portion of fish left on the nest.
I think it was EJ who just brought in another fish, was chirping gently, no takers, so she flew off with it for herself.

EJ arrives to empty nest. Hope she doesn't decide to leave before I can see her next week.
Nobody around so she takes it to eat elsewhere.
