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.

What happened? I had to leave the screen and Middle is gone
The fish is not on the nest
Titch is alarm calling and mantling

I'm afraid my id skills are neglible. But given some of the comments above I think Middle summed up the courage and took the fish from Titch. Having eaten some, he got a bit cross when he tried to take off with it, but eventually succeeded. The remaining juve (Titch?) did some furniture moving and then started mantling and is now shrieking, with another calling off nest.

Morning all. One GEM on the nest, screeching. Don't know which it is. Another may be in a tree nearby as I think I can hear replies. The scene is beautiful with the mist lit by the early sunshine.
Here's a capture I made of the two juves, when they were both on the nest. The light is pretty this morning.
Thanks Diane, yes it really is beautiful this morning. Dare I say, even autumnal (already!). I see that Debbie wrote on the main blog last night at 22.42.
Titch (?) is doing a bit of housework, calling intermittently, as is the other juve (middle?) who is presumably on the camera post.
Morning all ... thanks for the entertaining nest reports! It looks a beautiful misty morning at LG ... some lovely pics posted earlier ... thanks for those! One GEM grumbling on the nest ... and somebody eating out of view ... I can hear the 'feeding squeaks'.

Diane The problem I am having this morning is that those two chicks in your capture are quite black headed. Chick #2 which we saw a lot of yesterday is the whitest. See http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/groups/lochgartenospreys/forum/t/21766.aspx?PageIndex=14

I could hardly believe that was so long until I went back and checked. Time does fly when watching cams.
Tiger: Hmmmm. By golly, I agree with you!
