ALYTH - May 2023

11.38 Flora was on a quick comfort break and returns together with Harry who brings the remainder of the fish.

Flora quickly gets on with a feed. Initially just #1 and #2 bobs are seen asking for food

Then #3 puts in an appearance and manages to get some beakfuls.

After the feed, Harry is off and returns to the cam pole. Flora leaves for a comfort break and returns with an old woody stick. 

She places it to the back edge of the nest and does some adjustments. Building the cot rails. 

#5 fish, another live one at 12.48

All 3 chicks quickly up for a feed. All getting a share.

#1 gets a dangly bit

stretch over to #3

Harry leaves with the fish.

13.20 Harry returns with the end of the fish. He starts chipping and looking upwards. It doesn’t come to anything though.

Flora starts the feed. For once #3 is at the front (right) and feeds well

Flora flies off for a comfort break and Harry steps in to finish the feed.

Flora returns and watches as Harry carries on

Harry finishes off the last of the fish. Down goes the tail.

Flora goes off and fetches another thick stick.

and places it at the back of the nest.

Flora stopped the feed at 15.39 and flew off. Harry came down from the perch to collect the fish. Flora returned and Harry left with the fish.

Fish #7 delivered, another small live one

Feed finished, Harry flew down from the perch to take the remainder of the fish away. 

And #8, whole brown trout arrives at 19.51. What a worker Harry is.

I don’t think #3 got a feed that time. Harry flies away with the fish.

He returns with the fish at 20.30

Harry waits for 5 minutes but Flora shows no interest, not getting up from the chicks. Harry leaves again with the fish 20.35

Good grief, another fish fest! Super work by Harry!
