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
Aila is still trying to eat the skin of a fish (not sure if it is the same one that Ian reported above or not)

That whopper took more than two hours to finish - it arrived headless at 14.34 and she finally swallowed the tail at 16.54, it looked like an effort to get it down
20.18, if the last fish was a whopper, this is anything but. You can just see it under Louis' left foot. Ian
EDIT - It was finished by 20.26, could this be a record for the fastest time from delivery to finished?

Louis delivered a late fish at 21.59 hrs. A decent size.
Looks like the webcam went down at 03.54.04 hrs.
It has been a mostly dry night, but there were some showers too. Aila spent a long while on her perch.
Just before the cam went down
Just heard the chicks squeaking Ian - enjoy your day whatever you do!
Love this look on Aila's face!
A calm morning
