Having proudly posted "cam back up" so promptly, I forgot to restart the stream download, so this is the first fish I've got:

However - if I ultra-enhance where the fish should be, it looks like he's dangling a mobile of swastikas - EDIT - well it did on one instance, doesn't look like anything now.
This was the original:
It was more the reaction of Sasha and the chicks. It looked as though one of the chicks might have got the fish, but once Axel had departed she retrieved it and fed them - but I could be wrong, looking through the net curtain
17.47 Sasha landed with a sticky stick. She looked around and started calling. Axel landed
FISH #4 I have no idea of size. He didn't leave straight away, as usual, but hung around for a few seconds before flying off. Sasha soon started feeding the chicks, mumbling to herself as she did so. What habits are they going to pick up!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

First, here was Asha with twigs - see what can be done if only they approach with sky background:
The fish is just a bunch of pixels :(((
Thank you for everything, SHEILA - I'm off too now.
Fish! Asha seemed to leave it to the juvies to share but it wasn't long before they settled down, Asha was by then on the perch for the night.
21 July
It seems to have been a very cloudy morning, not sure if it's clearing up now or not, just when we want rain.
FISH !!!
Asha fetched an indistinguishable stick and did some nestorising:
05:55 Asha spent 5 minutes on the campost, flew away:
