  • FISH !!! !!! !!!



    And may I say what a pleasure it's been to see NC0 standing on duty behind her sunbathing osplets.

  • Just been checking through. At approx. 10:47, skydancing vocals could be heard.

    Laddie came to the nest at 11:00 with a huge stick and then immediately, both he and NC0 began chipping/mantling. No intruder seen

    Laddie spent a few minutes on the nest before leaving

    11:08(ish) NC0 fed the chicks some leftover fish (not that either of them wanted much)

    Laddie back to the nest just before 12:10 and nibbling at the fish piece

    He spent almost 20 minutes on the nest with his family Slight smile

    Finally leaving at 12:27(ish)

    All has appeared calm since with NC0 and the chicks relaxing on the nest

    13:10

    14:20 A few minutes prior to Scylla's reported fish delivery Slight smile

  • Looks like it's a civilised feed, with #2 getting plenty of bites.

    I really love watching her feed them, NC0 ensures that they have their fill and continues to offer it to them even when their crops are full to bursting - I'm really impressed with her!

  • 14:54 NC0 is eating some more of the fish but is still holding morsels in her beak, making short calls to the chicks to see if there are any takers - what a mum she is!
