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
03 September
MrsG stayed for 1 minute:
IMAGICAT
KC4 was on the nest for 2 minutes:
Fuzzy MrsG landed on a fuzzy nest because I've only just remembered to reset the YT resolution.
That's better:
She's hardly stopped preening and yacking:
She got a big, firm, headless flounder from Aran - I hope she didn't drop it, as she was very anxious to get away with it when the juvie arrived:
The brother and sister are still waiting on the perch, preenng.

They waited and waited until well past 09:30, then flew off.
Here they are, waiting again! ...with KC4 giving us a look!
KC4 had a bit of a tantrum and fliew off dipping over KC3 (but the dip was blurred) and the cam followed her away into the distance. I was watching at the time, "Is this it?", I thought, but no.
Here she has just returned, see how the cam attracts attention:
FISH !!! Flounder, KC4 got it:
Looks like Aran hasn't eaten today!
FISH !!! Only three-quarters of an hour after the last delivery !!! It's all a blur, what do we expect when KC3 is sooo hungry?!
KC4 left half a flounder on the nest, KC3 ate lots of his fish and flew off with the rest:
I know you can't see much of the fish but it was a nice zoom of KC3:
Aran had caught the fish and eaten the head in three-quarters of an hour:
KC4's leftover as KC3 flies with his:
MrsG mid-preen, she started @ 12:51, had she had a dip? (We didn't get a zoom to cut out the cam smudges):
Aran's 2-footed delivery - he's on a roll !!!
Unstarted:
Unwanted !!!
KC3 preferred KC4's leftover cos it had bee started ;) He flew with it:
Empty cam until MrsG came and had another preen:
At that moment KC4 arrived on the nest, expecting fish? ... but none materialised.
I had to do a double-take on this bird before realising it wasn't an intruder but KC3 with breast and rings glared out:
Unusual departure, he dived down vertically, no flyaway seen:
KC4 was on the nest waiting and shouting all that time until she changed to the perch:
KC3 arrived and they waited on the perch together, until...
By the time the cam got to the nest, KC4 was standing on a FLOUNDER:
But never fear, KC3, here's Dad with another FISH !!! But it looks tiny, and the one-hour clip ended at this point:
We didn't get to see a "normal" view of it, but it should keep KC3 going overnight ;)
KC3 soon polished that off, then he went to the perch and back and MrsG came to see what she could nick.
KC3 did his up-stare again:
He got KC4's leftover:
After the juvies had flown, MrsG picked over the nest:
Then she waited, shouting occasionally:
Another desperate pickover found meagre morsels:
Aran must have had a fish but not for MrsG:
At this point, after expectations were dashed a couple of times, MrsG flew and left the nest to the slugs:
