Aran arrives with a tail end.  KC3 spots it and takes a bit, but returns to the whole fish.  It is obviously too tough.  KC2 is on the perch, and KC3 is now flapping for Wales, while Aran tucks into his tail end, on the nest.

Mrs G returns to the nest and tidies up, and KC2 returns.  Aran feeds KC3 the tail fin which disappeared quite quickly!

All five are on the nest

Aran flies off and Mrs G starts to eat from the whole fish.  KC2 is first in line to be fed

Thank you for great coverage, SANDRA & SHEILA :)

Just oddments from me now.

I forgot to post a couple of snaps last night/this morning, and when I re-opened browser to do so, no websites would load!  I hope we'll get some better poses today.

KC2 and MrsG:

KC2:

After Aran took away the remains of breakfish this morning he was soon back with a very small stick, then he brought a 'fistful' of ???  Bark & dried leaf fragments?

KC4 had a crop-dropping session behind the cobwebs (which are stymying many photo-oppportunities):

Oops, nearly duped SHEILA's zoomed-in MrsG>KC3 feed, just as well I checked back, she'd be furious!  

KC2's white lines above and below eyes:

KC3 getting height:

Would you believe it?!  Too much sun today for ideal photo conditions  

As if I'd ever be furious with you, dear Scylla!

Feed in progress Another flounder KC4 not interestedPottering instead

Calm restored, Aran is eating fish on the perch.

Deleted Wrong thread

I see it is as usual every season, the barricades on the far side of the nest just disappear.   You never really see it happening each day, until one time you look and they aren't there

Mrs.G retrieved something to eat from the nest
