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.

A young one flew on to the nest ... and did EJ's 'traffic controller' movement ... and in came EJ with a fish!!!The young one grabbed it quickly and mantled.

Another one has flown in screeching.
I think the one without the fish must be Middle because it has made no attempt to steal the fish ... just lots of loud complaining!
The third young one has joined them on the nest ... just standing watching ... for now!
The watcher tried to pinch the fish ... failed!!
Golly EJ's brought in a second whale
EJ brings another whale for the watcher!
That was a massive fish EJ brought in.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
OK Eldest is on the right with EJ's first fish. Third juve making a lot of noise over EJ's second (even bigger) whale is Third juve,.All we want now is for Middle juve to be fed :) Plenty of fish to go round any way.
Love it when EJ brings in 2 in quick sucession. Can take NO credit for it, but Alison on the FB side recoreded the first delivery by EJ
