.A hasty start to the new month, to get something done in BIRDIE's forced absence and before the possible/probable FIRST OF THE MONTH FREEZE (and I've already got freezing probs here!).
When Birdie is back in she may give me her comprehensive version to insert here :)
Parents and chicks are all doing well, with no real upsets so far.

IMAGICAT
KC3 is very hungry but KC4 almost finished off a leftover not long before this:
Aran brought 3 fish in the afternoon, KC2 flew off with the first one and lost it!
I didn't find any more fish.
Aran crop-dropping - I could only get his tongue in a blurry shot, it was so quick:
He was on the perch with MrsG, who only stopped preening for a split second:
MrsG with her 2 fledglings:
KC4 had a stretch before settling down:
Aww
You'll be fledging tomorrow, KC4 - or the next day latest :)
KC4 had a good sleep as per the final snap above, then spent a long time preening on the top fence, then a while after daycam she took some exercise:
She then had a long sit-down and KC2 arrived a minute before Aran brought breakfish (KC2 is under his right wing):
I now have to find out what happened to the fish, as KC4 is sitting on the nest and a sibling is on the perch and no fish in sight.
Better pic of breakfish:
Then KC3 arrived on the perch (and so did MrsG, deducing from the tail that showed on the very end of the perch, you can just see her), no-one took the fish so Aran flew off with it!
KC2 shouted but he wouldn't bring it back
I think that MrsG is still on the end of the perch, KC4is lying alone on the nest.
HI SCYLLA I can't see which juvie is on the perch

ARan's brought back the flounder (or a new one!), KC3 was first to claim it:
Next conumdrum Who has the fish? And who, on the R, is protesting? Can just see Mrs G, I presume, on the perch
