What a shame we still can't see properly, the chicks do seem to be growing. Hope they are doing okay, the fish deliveries at least are still coming in, a good lashing of rain in the right direction and we should be okay!
Have sent an email to RSPB telling of my disappointment regarding not having MISTLE to choose from!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
What a fantastic job you do fish-spotting, SHEILA - it's so easy to miss Axel's visits in the l-o-n-g footage.
I checked pre-09:20 very carefully and couldn't find an earlier fish.
A flounder? That's unusual here - oh no it isn't, I've not spotted that it's a bent trout, I can't see until I get the pics on the page
I'm away all week and not a lot of wiffy so thanks everyone for your posts

#5 FISH !!!
To our beloved American contributors:
Mistle was on flyabout from 04:02 to 04:09. It's a dingy morning for us watchers but we had a bit of a glow for a short while:
#1 FISH !!! !!! !!!
And if you think that's not clear enough - I'll swap it for the original
I haven't seen Axel come back for it, but ???
Welcome San B, you are amongst all of us here regarding the naming situation, we all feel the same! Some of us have sent emails to show how unhappy we are. She will be MISTLE to us. Feel free to post anytime, all contributions are welcome, enjoy.

LOL, clearly I'm not as good you you thought!! I was on my tablet and didn't go back
I'll see if I can find anything for this morning.
Worrying times at Poole, but good to hear 022 has been seen today.
