.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.

scylla said:Aran with big FLOUNDER !!!
Breakfish was claimed by KC2 (wouldn't you know? ;) ), and KC3 took over when he was finished. Then MrsG waded in, while KC4 remained "happy" on the perch... when she decided to get fed, a corvid took her place:
Soon there were 2 fish on the nest and I can't find the arrival of the second - there's too much movement by too many birds, partly due to intrusions, probably corvids - plus the sun on the insecty lens!
KC3 with a fish and a spare nearby:
When KC3 had had enough he flew to the perch:
Aran brought another (probable) toughie for the kids to (try to) deal with:
But no-one was interested so he took it away to a tree.
One shouldn't complain about the sun, but KC4's not as sharp as she could be ;)
I can't do any more till "later".

Good morning!
04:52 KC2 found a skinny leftover and proceeded to eat:
KC3 arrivd and pranced around until she got the tail, which had enough meat in it to keep her going for a while:
KC3 popped onto the nest for a minute or two @ 04:45:
On and off again @ 05:12.
05:52-56 this little bird tantalised from behind/under/in the fence sticks:
06:17 MrsG flew in in anticipation of a fish from Aran - he duly delivered a flounder:
Aran flew, MrsG had a few bites on the nest then took the fish to the perch, soon flew off to a fave tree with it - that's what I speculate, as she wasn't followed.
No chicks seen since KC3 earlier.
KC? (because I'm doing Poole Harbour) just collected a new flounder from Aran:
