022 arrived on the nest with a headless fish and waited, behaving very youthfully... then CJ7 flew in with her own, whole fish, still flapping. After this video they both appeared on the nest again but no interaction.

Something a little bit different from the camera tonight.
I thought it was an interesting shot of new boy on the nest, all to do with the unusual camera resolution

(Oh no! Due to a total seize-up earlier today I switched off the downloader's monitor, thinking I'd have to reboot - but it resolved itself so no reboot needed but I forgot to switch the monitor back on - hence, when all the YouTube streams reached their 6-hour limit, they didn't re-pick-up.

022 @ 14:17 with live FISH !!!
He's still a teenager
This one foraged for 15 minutes!
Evening - I lost it just after 19:00, CJ7 was still on the perch, 022 had left.
I wonder if ALISON will forgive us and return at this exciting time?
I'm working very hard partly for you-hoo
Last evening, 022 had been pottering on the nest and taking flyabouts, then it sounded as tho there might have been a mating attempt on the campost a bit before 21:00.
Then! At nearly 10 o'clock:
Someone took off from the campost @02:19.
Our new young man was bright and early in the morning - so keen - and when CJ7 didn't turn up he went (see his dippy fly-off if you can) and was back in good time with a flapping fish. Still no CJ7 at that stage so he lef and that's as far as I've got.
CJ7 didn't turn up until 05:47:
Up 'n down, last seen up to campost @ 05:58:
Except... she's back on the nest as I type, pottering/hanging about waiting. What a shame she overslept (by her new partner's standards ).
