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 ;)

Aila came to the perch and stayed until 03:30:
A pressure-poop!
Aila returned @ 04:28:
I haven't seen Louis yet !!! !!! !!!
That can't be, I must have gone blind at last
05:26 FISH !!! !!! !!!
Looks like this is a freshly caught one that Louis has de-headed for his own breakfast:
Thanks for the Breakfast TV videos Geemeff..... at least they pronounced Aila's name correctly
I had already taken my overnight screenshots and the fish delivery Scylla, so sorry to repeat yours above, hate having them languishing in a folder doing nothing
It was a peaceful night with Aila on the perch for most of it.
One young lady was up though
Peace
Breakfast arrives

JJ8 had a go at pecking poor Aila's head this morning, had to do video in Slow Mo as it was so fast, also tagged on the 05.25 fish delivery as well.
