Hi everyone. Feeling extremely tired so really need to go and roost. Here's to another day at Loch Garten. :-)Goodnight everyone. See you all later.Paul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Thanks Paul. No wonder you feel tired at 1am! it's 10.30pm here and way past my bed time!!
Anyway, 3.30am and haven't seen or heard a peep from anyone on or about the nest, all night. Hope there is plenty of fish action for everyone later this morning.
Dawn is breaking, but the night camera is still on.
One juve on the nest calling for breakfast . It looks like it might be Middle. Oops he flew away

A fish was delivered I can't see the head as to who has it. It is either Eldest or Titch. It it Titch . Eldest is standing right in front of the camera and I can see his head. Eldest is is looking on as Titch eats .
Now they both see something in the sky. Titch is mantling .
Wow ! Eldest just bolted off the nest to chase an intruder. His alarm call sounds like Odin's high pitch squeal.
Titch is mantling over his fish. At one point it appeared the intruder landed on the camera post. Not for long with Eldest on guard duty. He is becoming a powerful bird.!
Titch is still struggling with his fish
Logged on to see #1 with a large whole fresh fish. #3 trying to get a bite, #1 mantling...eventually #3 tried a couple of aerial swoops over #1, who defended by more mantling.......eventually #3 gave up and has gone off. #1 alone tucking in. Cannot see #3 at all and all is quiet meantime

Middle just arrived food begging and grumbling that he has no fish . Titch is ignoring him and continuing to work on his fish.
Morning jsb and Barbara Jean: Have been doing some research on the computer for both grandkids so only just got to LG, where one bird (can't tell which one since sun is in the lens and the chick's head isn't visible - like that would help me!) is eating. Not hanging about though; must head for bed. Take care all.
Morning all ... just logged on to see one noisy youngster arrive closely followed by Odin. I think he brought a fish, judging by the way the GEM grabbed and mantled. Odin flew off, then the young one flew off too. I can hear feeding squeaks from nearby, so I can only assume the GEM is eating!

Morning All: Empty nest at the moment!
Thanks to all the overnighters, - can now hear osprey shrieking in the distance, as if they are fighting over a fish somewhere in a tree.
Morning all. Nest still empty. I suppose we should try to get used to that as Departure Day (sigh!) approaches.
