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.

WHOLE fish, too. What a dad. <3
FYI the record for LG is 13 fish in 1 day set by Olly. That was NOT the same day he set the record for 74 mating attempts. Trying to picture him t dusk after 13 fish and 74 mating attempts lying on his back with his feet in the air.
Don't blame me! I can only enter the data recorded by the volunteers!
Continuing catchup - I'm wondering if I've deleted an LG file with a bunch of others when some streams went flaky.
During a 4-5 minute feed one chick was much better placed than the other, I'm looking forward to the next feed. (A couple of minutes after this, Axel took the fish away.)
Is this a new fish or the one he took pre-17:00?
During the feed that followed, Mistle made a particular effort to feed the rear chick (they were in the same position as 16:40 snap above) but I couldn't tell what, if anything, was actually swallowed.
I think Axel took the fish away and brought it back @ 18:07.
Chick pooped in Mummy's eye:
More ins and outs, then Axel with this huge clump:
Meal break, SYAL.
