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.

This is EJ at 12.45 am
Thanks Lynette
now nearly 2am and EJ still on the nest, chowing down that fish! There's still tons left.
EJ is feeding Middle. The fish is half eaten and what is left is still as large as EJ. That was a monster fish
Eldest ( I think) is on the right side with another left over fish
Middle is alarm calling and EJ is looking around to see what danger Middle could possibly be seeing.
Middle was over reacting, there is no danger
Now Middle left EJ and is nearly out of camera range on the left side. He/she is grumbling at something and appears to be eating. . Is there yet another left over fish on the nest??
Good grief this nest has more fish laying around than a fish market
If that is Eldest on the right side then I don't see Titch.
EDIT: Aha Here comes Titch late to the party . He did his announcement squeal as he landed . The entire time he was landing EJ kept her eyes on him to be sure he landed on the nest and not her. LOL Now EJ is feeding Titch .

Barbara Jean: The little fella made a pretty good landing, given the strong wind. LOL
All three juveniles present and accounted for. No one has migrated yet. ;-)
Good night, all.

Not only the strong wind, but the nest is a bit crowded with 3 birds on it before he got there. He had to judge precisely where he would land and he did.
The juves have flown away . EJ is still standing on the nest with the remains of her whale under her foot. She is scanning the area looking for anyone who can help her finish it.
Has anyone seen Odin yesterday or today ?
11.51 am yesterday BJean Lynette reports Odin delivering a fish -
Not since then !!! This morning anyone ?? Seen ODIN ??
BarbaraJean - good news:
''Hi Cirrus you posted 8.30 this morning , Odin was around a bit earlier than that about 7.30 so the answer is he is still around.'' This from Valerie on the main blog. :)
Morning all, one noisy one has just flown in onto the cam post.
Thanks for the posts and pics during the night and daytime. Very wet again here. When are they going to get some dry weather????
