All quiet on the Osprey front. Mistle started gently food soliciting, then quiet, then stood up to reveal.........
,, what appeared to be a half eaten rainbow trout! No doubt Scylla will be able to get a much sharper image than me. All this happened about 5:45. It was as stiff as a board. When was that delivered?
Afrer faffing around getting images 1 of them has come back to the nest and is incubating - can't tell which.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
WAHOO!!! Congratulations! I have just watched and rewound!
Found this in chat:12:04 AM Lou Lovely sight looking back to see Mr AX6's first look at the chick, the way they looked each other and back at the chick was wonderful, two fish already and Mrs AX6's practice feeding has worked well
Axel's look at the chick and Mistle's trying to feed after the fish delivery.

The first fish and lots of feeding practice:
Mistle improved the layout of the blocking sticks - don't know how long it lasts yet...
Lots more activity but I must be much more selective from now on - these vids are too long! but one wants to show all the nitty-gritty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Second fine fish ( Axel) and Bob bobs a bit less and gets a sniff, even a nano-second taste. (Checked thru up to noonish.)

Mini catchup up to about 15:15.
Axel took the fish away, after a flyaround-and-around:
Mistle took a comfort break, less than one minute, brought back something tiny, maybe just dirt, in her talons:
Axel returning the fish, it was quite substantial:
Two more attempted feeds up to 15:15, too glitchy and all miss rather than hit, so no video. Nevertheless, it's going ever so well
Meal break here now.
Before I go - was this a definite/possible/probable bite?
