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.
Axel lands, no fish.

15.38 FOTD#3 FOTD#4, extremely windy today, must be tuff fishing. (There was a fish at 6:30.)
Here was FOTD#1 at 6:30. Good size.
I've just logged on and at 15.55 Axel brought in another fish, #5Fish! Amazing. (Or is it #4 returned??)

I must check to see if he took #4 fish away (15.38) and he has just returned it. Surely it's not another fish in such a short space of time!
Edit: Axel flew off almost immediately after #4, which was live and flapping. #5 was huge!! 17 minutes to catch and bring back such a whopper in these windy conditions is amazing. Axel really is turning into a wee hero! Odin's worthy successor!! Of course I should praise Mistle too. She has turned out to be a caring, mum, feisty when intruders are around and persistent!! I love them both.

Clever you, CC! The system won't let me save it if I put more than one link in my sig.
