.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.

No more fish, and a wet night to settle down in:
Currently:
Great video of MrsG holding on for grim death SCYLLA
They all look a bit drier now (I think)...

MrsG had her flyabout, all the chicks had been up and stretched their legs and wings, and MrsG returned to the perch:
MrsG soon felt it necessary to return to sheltering the chicks - tho they're too big!
This didn't look like Aran to me, and MrsG's reaction wasn't appropriate for him, IMHO. But it's a poor view and very brief:
Chicks have now been left to their own devies and are pottering - one may have found some fish but I can't see.

Yes, and doing quite well with it:
I've been working with my eyes nearly closed and a perpetual yawn on the go, so I'll say g'night after "Good morning, MARY!". Did you think it was an intruder? MrsG is back with the chicks. I do hope it's not cold - but the chicks were not looking unhappy while they were up. Byeeee :)
I thought it was a Peregrine at around 06:30 or Goshawk maybe ??

Have a good break SCYLLA
I'd say a Peregrine Falcon was the bird on the perch
