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
17.35, a bigger fish than the last one. Aila takes control of this one, has a few nibbles herself before starting a feed. Ian
EDIT - looking at the feed, it may be a flatfish.

Lynn L said:Thanks for the advice, shame but I am not on Facebook or Twitter. Will just have to wait and see what they are going to be called.
You could go on WT chat and make a comment with your suggestion:
https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/osprey-cam
scroll down to 'what happened on the nest today' which is the chat section.
Or leave your suggestions here, and we'll pass them on!
Woodland Trust will draw up a shortlist and then it will be thrown open to vote so the process will take a little while yet.

I didn't take up your suggestion to do a video of that sequence as you'd already done a great one, Mary, I used it as the bonus video in my summary.
But I did do one later in the day: Eine kleine Munch Musik: Loch Arkaig Osplets in quick-time
Late night surprise fish number eight arrives 23.21.14 and departs unwanted at 23.21.52!
Thanks for posting your videos Geemeff... I seen your Musik one on WT and gave you an ∧.
Are you doing a night shift

After an almost 1 hr long feed from the 04.12 hrs fish, the chicks are in a food coma, and Aila gulps over the tail in one.
Beautiful light this morning and as the clouds roll over in the distance, JJ8 wingercises while the other two JJ's are still in food coma.
