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.

Thank you for taking the trouble, CATLADY
I've had another look in a less droopy state than this afternoon, but no luck - so have uploaded a plea to YouTube:

Thanks Scylla for all the trouble. It was probably a misidentified Lanner falcon.

Me too, in spades!
Mistle brought an awful stick - she didn't miss the chicks by much but ended up placing it safely at the back:
FISH!
I didn't see him take it away but he brought it back @ 18:12 with plenty left:
He shoved Mistle's awkward stick further away on the fence.
A sweet examination of Mistle:
He dropped off the fish and left, came back 10 minutes later and stayed a few minutes, flew for the last time, nothing taken.

Good morning! Thank you PATILY & KORKY!
Mistle had a 5-minute flyabout this morning from 03:28, halfway thru she spent a little while on the perch. Apart from the fish, Axel brought a small something; Mistle had more flyabouts.
09:04 - crops not as plump as they might be:
Axel popped in for a minute @ 10:17, Mistle had another flyabout, no more fish up to 11:00.
