Hi all,
Its was a day of action again, stealing of fish from EJ and Odin, Odin trying to get fish off EJ, GEMs trying to get in on the act, its was all happening yesterday.
We learnt that one youngster had fished for himself and indeed two might have learnt for themselves but that is not confirmed.
Will today see more action or will it be a quiet day. Thanks to all who open up the posts in the middle of our night and keep us going so we know what has been happening. Even in the wee small hours when most of us here are in our beds you let us know whats been happening.
There were some fantastic pictures yesterday - keep it up team - we love them and can't have enough of them.
This is the nest at 12.16am. Over to the night shift.

One of the GEMs is saying to his siblings: "Let's make a tape of us calling and leave it next to the nest. The bloggers will think we're just about to appear but we'll be hiding in the trees. Ha ha ha."

Oi !! what about the speculative post I made on the very first day you suggested them !! ??? :(
Out for the evening - nowhere as exciting as you Margo - you'll have a great time :)
Enjoy your evening everyone I'll have to 'catch up' on my way to bed.
Nice to see you this side again RtheB
Cirrus. I'm so sorry I missed your speculative post from yestarday. I feel such an eejit. :-(

Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Lots of squeaking and squealing ... did somebody deliver a fish?
EDIT - I think the GEM that is almost off screen on the left is eating!

Fish delivery.
I think it was Odin, Joan. I just saw the departure. As we can only see the tail feathers of the gem who has the fish............
Thanks for confirming the fish delivery Heron ... I was too late to see what happened!!
EDIT - thanks Brenda too!
It certainly looks like Odin from Heron's pic. Here comes trouble ... another GEM flew in and considered pinching the fish!
Seems we have to speculate for real, regarding the anonymous fish catches by the young 'uns! We either have one 'two-fishcatcher' or two 'one-fishcatchers'......no video recorded evidence of the returns to the nest on Monday or Tuesday mornings. It may go down in LG folklore, as a mystery! No CCTV evidence for the 'chicks stats'. :(
