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 ;)

Good Morning All
Aila has been trying her best to cover the chicks over night which is an impossible task, at least their heads have been covered. They look totally soaked though.
I haven't seen any fish deliveries so far this morning, and Aila must be close by because I can hear fish calling.
They seem to have got all grown up over night.
So gorgeous

Louis has delivered a fish at 06.04 hrs.
Aila flies in when she sees Louis approaching.
Not a whopper but then not a tiddler either
Aila was perching close by, she did a nice fly past before landing on the nest, quickly followed by Louis with his fish.
Pity we couldn't see the fish after Louis landed it, but chicks were blocking the view.
I had noticed at the end of the video when Aila flew to her perch all 3 chicks looking up at her, it was only a split second they were like that, but with multi tasking of uploading video, posting on Glaslyn at the same time I forgot to take a screen shot.
Certainly one split second moment in time
Oh dear its the pitter patter of rain again. At least if its showers of rain and sun in between the chicks can dry out again.
08.20, fish. Ian

Easy like Sunday morning

Not so easy thanks to the rain. Ian
Someone is interested in the world about it.
Possibly JJ6 or JJ8, I'm not sure
It's raining again and Aila appears, to give much needed shelter
