Hi everybody, another month has started and the countdown will begin from now as to when our birds will start their migrations.
It was a fairly quiet day, yesterday. The three were fed in the morning and then again mid / late evening.
Thanks to all those who posted wonderful pics and kept us all uptodate.
EJ is on the nest at present, having taken the part eaten whale of a fish away and then returned with it to eat it late yesterday evening. Over to the night shift, see you all in the morning.

3 chicks on the nest now
Ah, all thiree now on the nest - two waiting for left overs .
By this time yesterday EJ had already delivered a second whale - the chicks are not vocal enough.
OK - did the fish change talons?? I missed that?
EDIT - looks like it did. Does Middle juve have it?
Yes, Cirrus, the fish changed talons ... the one who was eating gave up and another took over!

Thanks all for the pics, was doing something else. Hope to have caught the arrivals , departures, on tape.
Now is this #3 chick eating from the rest of the whale and #1 had had enough or is it still #1 eating.

Maybe Middle who I think is the one without a meal tonight, might get the tail end.
This shows that it's Middle juve that currently has the fish. Third will get the tail end.
