I'm starting this thread in case it's not possible for MARY to do it due to the first-of-the-month freeze-up.
Aila, Louis and their 3 chicks are flourishing, with Louis proving a great provider to the biggest family he's had so far.
I might add some snaps 'n things if I last a bit longer, but let's get the thread on the road first ;)
IMAGICAT
Followed by half a fish at 21.04.05, but still counts as the fourth one today (just)
Good Morning All
Louis is a super fisherman this morning, he delivered a fish at 03.43 HRS, then magically appeared on the nest @ 04.01 HRS with a fish of his own. He fed the chicks after having a good bit himself, Aila took his fish tail after she had finished the earlier fish and fed the rest of it to the chicks. She also decided to have a gnaw at her perch

Hi Patily
Your video is marked private so we cannot see it.
Louis must be breaking all records today 3rd fish at 05.21 HRS - WOW!!!
Aila flies in calling as she sees Louis approach with fish.....
Morning all, it was very nice to see Louis joining in with feeding in Mary's first video. The third fish was a whopper as well. That should stand the chicks in good stead for ringing if it happens today. Ian
Morning Ian
I was thinking the same, does Louis know something is going to happen today 3 fish before 05.21 hrs must be a record.
Fish 4 of the day - Louis is on a roll today
09.53, Louis brings in a fish. Aila (and one of the chicks) however has her eye on something else and doesn't take the fish. Louis flies off with it. Ian
EDIT - 10.01, Louis brings the fish back, I don't think he had eaten much if any of it.
