Before that reddish flounder, there were other fish from mid-afternoon onwards, this was the second, a good one:

462 ate loads and flew with it!  463 managed to find a scrap:

This was the 20:26 flounder coming in:

Next comes the prvious flounder snap, then, eventually, 463 was allowed to nip in and drag the fish away - he ate till the cusp of nightcam and flew, because the IR wasn't on we couldn't see what happened to the fish:

Looks like 463 (?) tucking into alargish fish

The morning so far...

All 3 chicks were on 'n off the nest, here they were disappointed by Dad with a stick:

07:15 What a whopper and 463 was waiting for it

He ate till 08:19 with 464 patiently waiting (no sign of aggression, how they change) - here he has extracted a tasty tender fillet and is nearly full, I chose it for the ring number:

464 (I'm convinced but can't get a good ring number) had to dig the fish out of the sticks:

Another try:

That's up to 08:50.

21:22 - 463 with a newly-delivered Flounder

Now - a live snap:

Here's another because it shows off the fish better:

Can't see who's eating and who's waiting
