I'm going to find it impossible to spot the next fledge because I can't tell the difference between the chicks and the rings are not readable... unless 464 is away from the nest at the time and there's only one chick remaining on the nest.

At 11:11 this morning there was a 10-minute intrusion - here, B35 has just flown in and, I hope you can see cos I'm too tired for a vid, #3 pecked at #2's tail "Hey! get down here where it's safer!":

View from other cam:

464 flew in and soon they were all pancaked, including Mama - we've seen here do that before!

After it was all over, Dad brought a fish:

Ah, I see, I think - 462 is #2, so 463 must be #3.

G'night for a while.

B 35 was feeding one chick watched by the other two when she was rudely interrupted by an intruder and gave chase still clutching the fish

She is back but chick are flattened and B35 mantling and there was a brief sound of sky dancing

I thought the theat was over but B35 mantling again and now shouting

B35 still got her eye on the sky and still vocalising but one of the older chicks has stood and B35 flies off again
