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.

ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Thanks ChloeB. I was just going to post a clip. I have already posted a longer version on the main blog.
Initially I thought chick 1 but having checked agree that it looks like chick 2. I was confusing their head markings.

That's excellent, ChloeB. Lovely fish exchange - a textbook classic!!!!
Thanks ChloeB for the clip, love the way the GEM backed up ready for the delivery. Makes you realise what good eyesight they have. Youngster knew the fish was on its way long before we caught side of Odin. Looked a good size fish too.

Some years back they timed how long it was from the chicks reacted to a dot was seen in the sky and it was about 52 seconds. It was nearly 70 seconds until the dot was identiable as an osprey. The chicks have keen eyes.

Late getting on here today and missed tons of action.
Thanks for all the posts and Chloe, for the clip. Wonderful action.
Thanks Tiger for the info about osprey eyesight. Just amazing when you think about it.

Aah, lovely pic of the chaffinch Joan And a visit from Middle juve I see from your pic – thanks for that. Great captures.
Oh, I’ve just been looking at Daisy Ray’s video – my! Middle youngster was SO exited to see dad arriving with a fish for her.
Doing a litttle daytime TV just now - (Virgin 1 - Voyager ..... I know !!!!! ) back shortly.
Go and do a bit of sewing and a gem appears, disappears, Odin arrives with fish and gem grabs and flies off with it. Its all happening.
Windy but no sign of an osprey at present. Thanks Joan for the captures.
