A new day begins and fledging draws ever closer. Star reaches day 40 today and Storm 35

No mistake Hazel - its NINE FISH!!
You are both correct ! I just went back and counted too and it is 9 fish today so far. He still has four hours to make it 10 or more

Odin is amazing. 9 fish in one day.
"Here's looking at you, kid"
Cats and women will do as they please. Dogs and men should relax and get used to it.
What was his record number of fish delivered in one day??

I think that Odin's record is 9.
Oh gosh, you are both so quick DjoanS and Barbara Jean! I felt I had to triple check my count and report was correct, hence being so slow! Gosh 9 fish into the nest! Now I may have not taken this in correctly (too many things, not enough time) but I think I read on the Daily Update from you wonderful people some weeks ago that an adult Osprey 'needs' 2 fish a day. With ever-growing youngsters (maybe at this stage needing 1.5 fish a day??) then 5 fish for the nest is adequate. Obviously depending on the size of the fish! Did I take that in correctly? And have I assumed correctly? By 'into the nest' I mean Odin excluded (and I mean that in the nicest of ways to Odin - assuming he takes the head (most nutritious part?) for himself and/or catches a fish all for himself :) )
Thanks Tiger ! Maybe today he will exceed his record. He has a little over three hours to do it
