Hi folk,
It was a mixed day yesterday. Fish delivery I think in the morning but not sure whether there were more during the day. Two juves kept coming and going and Odin visited at least twice during the course of the day - once , eyeing up the fish the youngster had. Did his usual housekeeping and kept everyone amused with his antics.
We know that EJ and Odin were around yesterday, and the two juves are believed to be Titch and Middle but no doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Over to the night/early morning shift and keep us amused with your lovely commentaries and occasional pics.
I'm off to bed, see everyone in the morning.

Odin seems to be building a barricade right around the new nest cup he dug. What is he thinking??
EJ just delivered a whopper. Titch had the head and so did EJ and there was a tug of war. EJ didn't want to let it go. I think she wanted to feed them
WOW Now there is a royal battle for procession of the fish!!
Battle still going on. The sun is glaring on the lens so i can't see who is the temporary victor
Now they each have an end of the fish and are pulling on it . Huge flapping of wing sand screeching. It is far too large to fly away with so they will have to come to a compromise It appears Titch has it now and Middle is at the edge of the nest. He/she conceded for now
Oh, He was just resting up!
Now he/she is checking under Titch's tail plotting his heist . The fish is as long as Titch.
Now he is up near Titch's head watching him eat and glaring at him . Titch is just tucking in and ignoring him/her
I think Middle can see if Titch doesn't fly away with the fish when it is half eaten there will be plenty for both .
A truce has been called!! Titch is eating while Middle calls for someone to bring another fish.
Is does appear eldest has gone
Titch has now dragged the fish to the edge of the nest . Middle is eating scraps that Titch left
.
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
Loser sneaks up but is rebuffed. He finds a scrap to occupy him.
EJ definately did not want to give up that fish.She struggled to hold onto it. I think she wanted to eat with them and feed them. She finally let go of it and flew off in disgust.
Was this her last fish for them?? Time will tell
Intruder flying so close I could see it. Both alarm calling and mantling
I can see the white on Middle's head. Middle is the loser of the fish
Middle is calling non-stop
Both screeching. What for, Greedy? Oh, no dessert.
Scene at 6.41am
I think they were both very hungry because there was no supper fish last night
Middle flew off and is calling non-stop in the distance
Titch is still eating . He is quite a bit out of camera range so I can't see how much is left of the fish
Middle is back on the nest calling
Now Ttich moved and is right in from of the camera. He has eaten half of the whopper. Middle is near him watching him eat and calling for a fish. I hope Odin brings a fish soon for Middle
