4:05pm eater has moved to 10oclock spot.
new arrival at about 12oclock

4;17pm the dark birds are gone from the sandbar.... a few minutes ago I saw a whole 'parade' of them head off, screen left, very low over the water

3:18pm 3rd chick in at 7oclock corner.

third sibling on nest at 3:18 - just prior to her landing i saw a bit of activity down on the sandbar

eater still managing to keep fish
4:33 sibling tries to use stealth and reason to convince eater to share


then gives up and departs by 4:36

From a few minutes ago: bird 'parade' on the water, leaving the sandbar.

@4:13pm

3:38pm just noticed the cam was frozen. restarted and now just 2 on the nest.
bird at 12olcock spot is eating.
there is enough wind to ruffle their feathers a bit at the moment.

love your parade Terry! completely missed that
I must go now- bye all
4:43 eater still eating at 12 and sibling that was the last arrival near centre

3:45pm 3rd sibling home now... I watched him out at the sandbar splashing around quite a bit and then 'skiing' over the water as he took off... BET are you Taping? It would be a wonderful video segment.

I just imagine him down there trying to figure out how to get one of those fish he can see just below the surface.


Check this out!!! I can hardly type! I think he caught a fish!!!



S'caps to come...
