Hmm, now who was LP8 shouting at?
===============================
Cont'd...
LP8 had a visit from a crow
Look behind you, LP8!
It took a small clump of dried grass
LP8 carried on eating but not for long...
LP8 headed over to the back of the nest as a crow decided to sit on the perch
LP8 continued to eat while the crow looked on
The crow left
LP8 dropped the fish tail after seeing off a crow that got close to the nest
Another shout at the crow
LP8 then picked up the fish tail and, as it was trying to swallow it, it came out of its beak and dropped over the side of the nest
Some nest cleaning was in order and LP8 picked up any dropped morsels of fish from the nest
A look around
Up to the perch
Off LP8 went
Had a circular flight over the Loch, close to the birch, before settling

Decided I'd better not, because have now included NC0(?) popping on 'n off with her own, smaller fish. Unless it was an intruder!
Good morning Scylla and all,
What a great start to the day, a fab video, thank you so much!
I wonder why LR0 didn't approach NC0 to take her fish?
7:40 LR0 tucking in (he's had the fish since LP8 stepped away from it at 7:05ish), LP8 relaxing on the perch
8:35 A small, headless fish from Laddie. LR0 was still eating his so a no contest claim for LP8
The LS jumped after this capture so I couldn't get Laddie's fly away
Soon after leaving, Laddie made a very brief on/off appearance, maybe because crows were close to the nest
Both eating their respective fish

In reply to Korky:
There was a fish delivery from Laddie at 13:29ish. LP8 was on the nest to claim it. There were calls too from above the cam as Laddie approached
LP8 looked around and shouted before taking the fish off nest
14:35 LR0 is at present on the nest. He has been fish calling since arriving at 13:51
