Thank you Pelle. I was pretty pleased with yesterday's shots.

Mum did several low passes, but hadn't returned to the nest by the time I left. In the meantime, Dad dropped a fish off for Aussie who took it out onto the branch, holding it in her talons for 15 minutes before starting to eat it, a sure indication that she's not starving. This was the third time that Dad had been seen bringing a fish yesterday (still today for some). It's worrying that she's so reliant on this.

I've posted shots from the same series as this one before, but I wanted to include it again as it shows such a different relationship and such promise.
