In reply to Sandra :
There was a fish delivery to LP8 from Laddie at 13:46ish.
LR0 down from the cam post
LP8 lifted upwards with the fish
Landed back down
LR0's stance - was he the 'intruder' earlier and LP8 was driving him away?
At 14:00, LR0 was back to his normal self, calling for fish, once LP8 had left
The siblings were both ok together on the nest a little later

15:35 Laddie to the nest with another fish, LP8 was already there to receive this one too

17:20 A HUGE, headless fish delivery (salmon, I think,) from NC0!!!!!!!!!
Tug-o-fish, LR0 on the right
After leaving the nest, LR0 landed on the birch
LR0 lost out
He made an attempt to steal, but LP8 wasn't going to let that happen
18:44 LR0 is still waiting to eat!

Glider said:Oh Sandra, you were right about NCO, I think you knew though. Safe journey NC0, can’t wait to see you back next Spring. ️
We'll have to save our sentiments for another day, Glider! lol
Gosh, my mind is so confused - was there a ringed intruder this afternoon or was it LR0? And now beautiful NC0 is still around! I need to lie down in a darkened room, I think!!
19:04 There is still a sizable amount of the fish left, I really hope LR0 gets its share of it soon!
IMAGICAT
In reply to scylla:
I'm so pleased LR0 has now got the fish, Scylla! He hasn't had anything to eat on the nest, from my observations, since early morning yesterday.
LP8 had been having a brief 'shut eye' before LR0 cautiously approached the fish
LP8 cleaning its talons, LR0 enjoying his much needed meal

What a surprise!!! NC0, you’re still here! Even fooled The Lowes staff that you were gone. Lol What a welcome return too with that fish.
Yes Sandra, I’ll re wish NC0 well another day! haha It’s the heat, it’s getting to us all!
LR0 walked away from the remainder of the fish at 21:11, LP8 was on the perch.
LR0 with a full crop
LR0 left the nest (both made contact calls to each other just beforehand) and just as he reached the birch, who should appear?
NC0! Down to the nest from the cam post!
LP8 off the perch and food begged - NC0 ignored its calls
A quick taster
She flew off with the fish before LP8 had a chance to take it! NC0 did not fly over the Loch or head to the birch
LP8 found a fish tail on the nest
Hmm, now who was LP8 shouting at?
