Evening all: Off to see what's going on at the nest.
Storm just had a real go at Star but unfortunately has come off the worst. Very quickly put in his/her place and now lying flat out!
Some serious headbutting going on by the eldest, youngest is lying low now.

Storm just started another fight and again came off worst. Will he/she never learn?
They were lying side by side, then Star got up again, mum went for a flyabout , came back, and then some more serious fighting by Storm to Star. Star now liying low and EJ doing some furniture rearranging.
Now EJ and Storm a both preening with Star lying low.
OOps!! EJ backing up as if she thought Odin was on his way with lunch. 2# humbug attacked 1#, who then attacked EJ. Star couldn't quite reach so turned vicious jabs on Storm. who took evading action by tucking itself under Star. Odin hasn't appeared yet. Maybe he is feeding himself. He has to keep himself very fit for non-stop fishing. Must be difficult as the wind is still strong and no doubt playing havoc with the water surface.
The mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open.
Thanks to Annette for starting us off and for all your super captures, there really are some gems in there - first morning light, family scenes, etc. Its all going on. EJ having a mouch around the nest whilst the young ones are looking on. Mum has now settled beside the.
I missed the last fish, - but you have All put some great photos up. Here they are now:
Thanks for all your super captures this morning. I can't believe how big No 1 has become in just 5 days that I was away.
I see No 1 Is getting adventurous. A capture I took earlier.
