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 ;)

Fish number 5
Handed over, and Louis flies off
I couldn't capture that if I tried! But I guess you have to make room for some more fish!
Someone seems to be hungry
And someone is prowling around the back!
But it doesn't progress to the front, and the third has sneaked up beside Aila, who feeds her and then takes a bite herself.
Oh I do love the little squeals of satisfaction!

Not at all jealous
2115 and it is an absolutely glorious evening at Arkaig.

Love it Thank you, MARY
Late night fish supper: fish number six, smallish whole trout 23.01.18
It's been a dry night !!! After her post-1am flyabout, Aila spent it on the Robin's perch... until Louis arrived @ 03:04 with a headless FISH !!! No-one else was up for it so Aila fed herself.
