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
09 August
No-one all night.
First and only Osprey in so far this morning was KC3:
He flew a few seconds after this:
The GSW preened on the end of the perch for some time before venturing close enough for a snap:
IMAGICAT
I think KC3 got breakfish - this is the "best" view of it, I have frame-by-framed to and fro.
Then KC4 arrived and immediately went into a crop-dropping phase:
She had a little sit-down, then stood, shouted at us:
There should have been some nice shots of her but the web and its victims and/or fluff mar her.
She flew off and around and spent 5 mins on the perch, alternating between shouting and contemplating navel ;)
Heather did a lot of searches between nest views and eventually got her reward:
The unmistakable MrsG, unless you disagree with me ;) I could have got her looking this way but then her features don't show up.

Glad there was someone on the cam for you this morning, PATILY - you are so conscientious but often unlucky
scylla said:MrsG has landed, she may be fish-calling.
She had shouted and flown from the tree @ 09:19:
Not on the nest until 1010 tho:
Then to perch but sooo fuzzy I'm not bothering with a snap... oh all right then, this is "improved" - she flew @ 1020:
I had to text a friend re the JUVENILE or FEMALE REDSTART who landed @ 11:15 and has been off and back on the nest and is there as I type - but I have to do kitchen stuff, I'll have a lovely (I hope) video later, because Heather did us a zoom at a really good moment:

The best bit is at the beginning, but they (tho we only see one at a time mostly) were on the nest so long that I couldn't just leave it at that:
How cute is that?! You'd think I'da done a frame but maybe later ;) That vivid orange will be a swine to match or tone with.
KC4 got the fish:
There has been at least one more fish delivery but I need to pack up for a while.
The 12:30 fish was a mullet and here's dear KC2 waiting oh-so-patiently for it - she'd been sitting down, standing up, shouting, quiet in turns :-*
We thought the wait woud never end... but then!
KC2 flew with it:
Then KC4 flew with hers (she'd eaten more than half), at last, @ 14:07, and the Ravens were right in there, no messin':
KC3 spent 6 minutes on the perch, preening and looking around - Heather couldn't follow him when he flew:
We've had some lovely tours, thank you, Heather :)
During one of the tours Heather showed us KC3's pine cone tree ;)
She had to rush back to the nest for a supper delivery, which KC2 got and flew off with before Heather could even unzoom to see her depart:
