Senior arrives on the nest


And then the Magpies arrive to harass her

Happy Hour for the Senior. Here comes Dad with fish and no competition

8:44 Dad fussed about on the nest for a bit and then took off



Senior kept eating her fish, in a reasonably quick manner. AT 8:56, she looked about and then took off with the rest of her fish


And then at 9:01 the !@#$%^& black screen begin it's daily attacks

9:47


Who is this?

Adult lands on the nest


Looks about


Flies off after being on the nest for 27 seconds

Love your strange chick Bet. You managed to xapture a great assortment of visitors today.

Home after the oil change, etc. to see Sr on the nest calling and flaring her wings as she turned in all directions defending the nest or trying to but it is hard if only she and Dad are still here. Sr left at 11.34 am.

Sr keeps Dad busy filling the larder as we all know so we haven't seen the last of them yet.

Hi JEan!

Glad you captured Ms Princess at the 11:34 time as I had another stoppage

HEre is another strange chick to add to today's variety He is 3 months old. I will probably name him Mac or Max Have to wait and see how he likes those names.

Oh Mac/Max is darling Bet. I hope your dog's think so too.

1.09 pm Sr on the nest again doing her usual calling and flaring as she moves on the east side. By 1.15 Sr is peering over the eastern side of nest and remains there at 1.23 pm. I just know that when I go out and move my sprinkler a fish will come in and sure enough....... when I come back in Sr is already digging into a partially eaten fish.
