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 ;)

16.16, a large whole fish. Pic 1 is Louis flying past with it. Aila had the fish until JJ6 landed within a minute of Louis. JJ6 took the fish straightaway. Pic 3 is "waiting for JJ6"! Ian
patily said:JJ6,I presume, is the juvie eating, watched by a sibling The third taking no notice, intent on grooming Aila is shouting for more fish, loudly
This is correct. Ian
16.48 A fish full of fish! Doddie gets a bonus
18.09.39 Fish number five, whole flatfish
