3:14 in UK. Can't even see the white blur of the nest......
We're still watching Garten sat, half hidden, on the tree.
Make the most of today because, unlike Sky+, there isn't a rewind button.
We have some lovely views of Rothes now looking very elegant on that branch. She had a wobble at one point and nearly fell of her perch.
Ohh, there's action on the nest. Wings everywhere....a fish delivery at some point....
Rothes appears to have the fish but there's intruders about again so lots of mantling and no eating that very pink fish.
Rothes is eating a huge fish - guess one that EJ caught - with Garten trying to get a look in, pecking hopefully at the tail end and making a commotion (from the soundless body language), and Mallachie keeping out of it
Blimey that was a right carry on! We didn't see who delivered the fish but there was a right royal fight with Garten trying to get the fish off Rothes but Rothes wasn't letting go. Why would she...have you see the size of it? It's HUUUUUUGE!
It's stretches from Rothes's beak right down to Garten's feet!
Intruders are still about. When they're not Rothes is just standing over the fish, really winding Garten up who just keeps attempting to get a bite. Mallachie meanwhile is just standing in the background.
Rothes is now eating the fish. Garten is not happy. Poor Garten :( The others have eaten but as far as I know, she hasn't.
The fish is so bg that Rothes is having problems moving the fish. It's now a bit to close to the edge of the nest and one wrong move and it's "tatties", it's over the edge! Garten is still trying so hard to get at it.
I still can't get over just how big it is. The biggest so far?
Paula, Paula, Paula, you WONDERFUL blogger (and friend) you. I'm back from Doctor's and shopping etc etc and wish I wasn't going out this evening BUT I have SO enjoyed your images of the family. And I've copied them of course (you selfless girl you :) ) THANK YOU.
Paula once again I have wrongly identified one of the girls on the main blog by saying it is Mallachie with the fish but as you say it is Rothes. I have copied the various ways of identifying them but am absolutely hopeless. Still it is making very interesting viewing. Hope Garten gets a look in.

It's a stand off at the nest. Garten desperately wants a piece of that fish but Rothes is not sharing! Several times Garten's had an attempt to take it off Rothes but has failed. She's tried from every angle to no avail. At one point they just stood and started at each other, each waiting for the other to make a move.
Now Mallachie has returned to the nest and is waiting in the wings as well. Garten is waiting to pounce...
