MaryGK said:White YW has just delivered a large fish for Blue 35
I don't think I've ever got a fish delivery here, MARY, so your pointer had to be followed up, thank you! It was a magnificent fish, but YW suddenly decided he needed to prepare it for 35 so he flew off with it... and back. Then had a spat with a cheeky corvid, dive-bombed it!
He landed and took off with it within a second or two:

I've run out of time so can't even attempt to do justice to 35 and YW today - but a quick scroll-thru of 11+ hours gives the impression of a busy and contented nest, with the occasional corvid blot.
And I've got over 4 hours of Cam#1 up to now, but I didn't start it until after the couple had left for the night, duh!
YW had flown in first @ 06:31. He pottered, stood still, and tried to scare off a corvid (but it only flew under the nest and perched) while he waited for 35 - well I think he did but it could have been her, they're too fast for me:
06:48 they were together, that's all I can say
Shortly after, there was a good mating and he flew off:
An immense amount of work has been done by both of them, here's 35 resting @ 10:56, maybe YW has gone fishing now (but I could have missed a fish):
They were at it until about 20:00 last evening:

(because I'm not starting a new post for this morning!)
06:01 - 35 was on 'n off, that's it so far.
If only all the cams were as reliable as these two, lo-res tho they may be! I've got over 15 hours non-stop for each, and no time for details, here's a couple of snaps to show the routine continues:
