096 who is now 88 days old, spent 10 minutes on the nest this morning and because we haven't seen too much of him , I thought it would be nice to post a video of his visit.

Morning ALL
Yes it is nice to have a change of view. I actually called them yesterday and asked if they could leave it zoomed out a little, even just for one night, that we may get a sighting of a sunrise and also see 33 approach with his fish deliveries!
According to the met office, sunrise was 05:28 and here is a capture of the nest/bay at that time
And thanks Mary for your lovely captures with 095
