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.
My fishing expert tells me that the 4.59 fish is a grilse, a small salmon common in June. Even if he's wrong, it's a fish, and that's good news and the osprey don't care

We are 18 years old on 15 JUly. Yours is possibly the best recommendation in those 18 years. THank you very much Cringer.
Whole fish, and flapping. Chicks are squealing along with Mistle. Their heads are no longer bobbing now that their necks are stronger.
Axel arrives to collect the fish. Mistle still eating.Axel is patiently waiting until she is done feeding herself and the chicks. He's turned into a regally confident dad.

I needed a Google to find out Urban lingo!! If I Recall Correctly.
I logged on earlier this morning, but found life sooo slooow I just couldn't be bothered, sorry.
I am sure everything will have been covered, but I will do a swift check and report.
13.06 when I checked in again Mistle was tucking into a fish - delivered?? Axel landed Feeding has stopped, osplets are flat out and Mistle and Odin are standing like book ends on the nest.
Woops!! Wendy kindly pointed out my error. Substitute Axel for dear Odin!!
