The three juveniles are thriving under Mrs G and Aran's continued care, proving once again what formidable parents they are. Long may the season continue to be be hassle-free as it nears the time for migration
KC3 was on the perch for 2 minutes from 06:59 - looking extremely alert and suspicious ;)
IMAGICAT
Aran flew in to the perch with fish and KC3 flashed over on his curvy way to the nest:
Something must have been afoot (besides the fish) because Aran kept KC3 waiting and was watchful:
Relatively small whole flounder:
KC4 arrived @ 07:25 - this is the most we could see of her face:
KC3 flew with remains of fish @ 07:32, KC4 is still on the end of the perch.
Waiting and waiting, still there now. I do love 'em when they're hunched.
KC4 waiting:
KC4's reward - I couldn't get a snap until after Aran had flown:

That's how it is now.

Mike B said:MC. this was at 4 25pm.
Thank you, Mike. Glaslyn is the only nest I'm screen-capturing on with my timeline, so it would be a doddle to find - except I'm going thru the whole day now, so I'll come across it. MrsG was there with one juvie or the other when I unveiled them this evening, I wonder how long the vigil was unbroken?
The day continued...
MrsG was eating KC4's "skinny" fish and KC3 was not pleased:
The corvid ate a tiny piece and put the rest back under the sticks, where s/he'd found it:
KC3 had been on the perch in the rain since 12:04, this snap is immensely brightened etc:
He flew @ 13:17 but the cam stayed on the perch (contrary to popular opinion, Heather is not tied to it) until several minutes later when it found KC3 on the nest with a FLAPPING FLOUNDER
KC4 arrived and didn't have to wait long to get her own FLOUNDER, well started, from Aran:
They couldn't relax for a while:
You would think that KC3 got buzzed twice when he was tipped over, but frame-by-frame has revealed no intruder - it must have been gusts of wind that we'd have heard if we had sound ;) KC4 was immune except to the wing:
KC3 got a displaced feather out of it:
KC3 flew @ 14:48, leaving a large leftover on the nest; here he was nodding off on the perch, untreated snap:
Who's there? (No answer.)
MrsG came in and collected the leftover Flounder - she didn't hang about! In less than a minute Aran flew in with another - he waited over 4 minutes, no takers, so he flew off with it. A video done, just in case it's our last (fleeting) sighting of MrsG:
MrsG joined Aran on the perch for a while, he flew off, maybe they saw an intruder?
All fuzzed out, despite enhancements:
Drag 'n drop stopped working, will have to start another post.
KC4 may have brought this back with her, or Aran may have given it to her - we didn't see the juvies' arrival:
We never saw what attracted their attention down below:
KC3 found the string the corvid had toyed with... dropped it over the side:
After some frustrated prancing and flapping, KC3 joined MrsG on the perch. She was pretty dozy:
She roused herself for a scratch:
She appeared to poop in her son's face but don't worry...
It went right thru and out the other end
KC3 appeared to have a skew-whiff tongue but it righted itself:
Huge delay here caused by software problem on a different laptop and I may have totally lost my way...
There's heavy rain on nightcam now.
