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 ;)

Thanks Cathy for the heads up.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Another fish arrived tonight, total of four. Not our nest on the One Show tonight.
Fish number four, small whole trout 22.09.43
Aila was on 'n off the Robin's perch, as when she sheltered the chicks they churned her off eventually (I've lost my perch snap):
Back again:
Aila flew @ 03:42:
One chick kept nibbling a sib's feathers;
There are 3 heads there, but only 2 up:
No fish yet.
What ahorrible looking morning

Still no fish delivery yet, I dare say as it’s a bit dreich this morning Louis is not finding fishing easy. Although having said that he has brought in fish in these conditions before.

Oh it is lovely - but I can't do teardrops - I think the one you're thinking of was a star with number of points reduced to a minimum, that looked a bit teardroppy
I heard some osplet chirps just now and checked the live stream - but no fish yet. JJ6 Doddie just got up and flapped.
