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.
13.09 Axel visits while Mistle is feeding the osplets. He stays a couple minutes and flies off.

13.24 Axel visits again. Mistle requests more fish, while he nibbles on the remains of the fish tail.
Mistle finally gets up and takes the fishtail back from him. No one is up for a feed so she feeds herself. She often checks for a bobbing head while Axel watches intently. He flies off 13.38. Looks like the bobs are taking her up on her offer.
From chat:Fisheagle9 13.31 he seems to pretend-feed an invisible chick...

Axel returns. 13.53He's cleaning up fish bits while Mistle continues begging. However, he stands on one leg while she dozes off!! They have become quite companiable.
Kinda funny cos she is half heartedly begging while dozing and he is falling off, too! What a pair.
14.14 Mistle takes off, leaving Axel home alone with the osplets. She's back with a stick. Can't see egg. Axel sticks around watching.
14.20 He calls her back and she returns with another stick. He leaves 14.22.
