Good Morning all,
Yesterday had some interesting goings on. Delivery in the morning and a delivery in the early evening which resulted in an eventual takeover by the chick who lost out when EJ delivered round about 5pm This chick then kept eyeing his sibling up and eventually grasped the fish that was left and flew off with it., leaving the first winner of the fish contest to wonder what had happened. It was all very amusing and also a privelege to watch what can go on between siblings in the wild.
The evening ended with the usual ENS
Over to the early morning shift and keep those anecdotes and scintillating commentaries coming for us over here as we love to catch up in the mornings, of what has been going on early morning. BTW what absolutely gorgeous photos of the early morning at LG yesterday. Congrats to those that posted, really atmospheric.
Over to you!!!

I can almost hear the late Bill McLaren saying: "Well he's got a five foot wing-span this big lad but he's in danger of giving away a penalty, for not joining from behind the hind most foot. And now here's Odin breaking away! He's like a demented Starling heading for a freshly filled fatball feeder!" Paul.

Middle so wants to move the cushion. Now he's joined by Titch again.
Lynette D said: Did anyone see that. Middle seemed to have his talons stuck on a stick and then the wind seemed to take him and lifted him off the nest and he then flew away. Still calling. Titch has just flown off with the remainder of the fish.

Yes, I saw it Lynette - she was blown off the nest but recovered smartly. My heart was in my mouth. Youngest clung to the nest side on a secure rim stick and then grabbed the fish and took off with it . I really hope there is somewhere sheltered to both eat and roost .
Alan VERY many thanks for the video clip - I missed the delivery but having watched your video it was indeed Odin who delivered. So then, EJ brought breakfast and Odin has brought High Tea. No more fish today. I really hope they have safe roosts tonight. Eldest is well out of this gale.
Thankyou for the pictures and reports and to Alan for Odin's fish delivery.
Paul, just loved your rugby commentary.
One lonely, windswept gem hoping for some supper????
and on that note I must go and finish dinner Will catch up later.
Hello - I've just come on to find a gale blowing!
