When I first looked in it was ENS but then 35 arrived soon followed by YW and what looked like a very successful mating ensued

YW now gone

And just as I posted that he returned,,,,,,,perhaps because of an intruder.....a little mantling and he takes off

First activity this morning, it was darker than this:

And again!

And again!  This one took quite a lot of paddling ;)

And again !!!

I'm not showing you the FIFTH ONE!... nor the SIXTH!... nor the 7th @ 09:35!

Some ins 'n outs, I think this was 35... no, 'twas him, I think:

Then it rained:

B35 alone on the nest and it seems very windy again

B35 was standing on the nest doing nothing in particuar Then YW arrived and itlooked as though he had brought no offerings After a while 35went across to him to retrieve something Until she "smacked her lips" I thought it was a teeny tiny stick but it was the smallest piece of fish imaginable B35 now flown with it qnd YW has been doing som3 housework

Someone was on the perch before day dawned this morning - snap extremely light/brightened:

The day started routinely:

I think I saw that fish PATILY mentioned but passed it over.  I haven't done any more today and need to pack up for a while.
