Oh my, such stunning captures!
scylla said:He's just delivered a flounder and there are 2 juves on the nest, I expect KC3 has the fish.
KC3 got Aran's toe again:
It's KC2 waiting behind:
And KC2 didn't have to wait long! She took over and soon flew off with the fish:
KC3 sat down and did some crop-dropping, I hope nothing's stuck:
Then nodded off as he sat:
He got up, pottered, sat again, up again, flew off @ 19:56-ish.
Then KC4 and KC3 were on nest and perch respectively, KC4 flew @ 20:14... KC3 @ 20:31.
ARan with FISH:
MrsG was waiting for the fish but suddenly Aran flew off and then so did she :-/
She was in this tree for about 10 minutes and flew a moment after snap:
That was the last anyone was seen on cam on 03 Aug.
04 August
It's quite breezy with drops of rain. A Raven is tucked down under the nest:
Two juvies appeared, prancing and dancing, I think it's KC3 who brought the pine needle twig and the other is KC4:
They flew but this is probably the same pair:
Then the juvies and ravens (2) were on-off-on-off:
BIG WHOLE FISH per ARAN !!!
I'm waiting for the receiver to reveal its ID :)
Someone's trying to steal it, failed so far...
KC3 got it:
KC4 grabbed KC3's toe when trying to steal fish:
What a surprise! KC4 succeeded:
KC3 was left scratching his head on the perch
KC3 was back on the nest waiting, he checked his pine needle twig - maybe it's supposed to stand in for barbed wire, but l can't think who it would keep out ;)
He turned over clumps and generally made a nuisance of himself but KC4 ploughed on regardless thru her breakfish and eventually, as the weather turned foul, KC3 went back to the perch:
Soon he was back on the nest and KC2 turned up on the perch - you can see what he thought of that!
KC2 joined KC3 in the queue and it was KC3 who got the fish when KC4 had finished with it - KCs 2&4 flew off.
KC3 was bothered by the Ravens but kept going, mainly eating the flesh and leaving the skin:
KC2 is now waiting, but mainly skin remains :(
So all 3 chicks are present and correct this morning
.
I'm missing PATILY for a couple of days, maybe thru poor observation or looking in the wrong threads?
KC2 has the fish, what's left of it:
A very rainy morning came to pass:
It had eased off by noon and shortly afterwards Aran brought a headless flounder - KC2 was the only one there for it and she flew off with it:
KC3 brought one of his bunches of straw to the perch, there wasn't a perfect snap with his head and the whole of the straw in the frame.
The straw - he flew off with it:
Then he was on the nest, strawless:
KC2 got another flounder, I wonder what happened to the noon one?
KC2 shouted a bit and flew with it:
KC3 flew in to the perch, then to nest, then back to perch - with us for 20+ minutes being very indignant before flying off:
Uh-oh, what makes us think KC2 is being profligate with fishes? She hasn't got a fat crop!
KC3 joined her, whereupon KC2 flew to the perch and off, KC3 flew to the perch and stayed there shouting for a while then back to the nest:
He flew @ 17:02.
They were both back for a short while, looking like drownded rats:
Both gone by 17:39, since when the only activity on cam has been rain blobs.
