The nest is in shadow from about 4.15pm and apart from a few seconds where the sun briefly strikes it, that's pretty well it. Yesterday I moved position over where I could see the pole branch. When I first started viewing back in 2008, both the nest and the pole branch could be seen from my usual position, but the trees have grown so much, this is no longer possible. I don't know what it's going to be like next year.

Anyway, I'm glad I went over there. Dad had delivered a fish and then flew to the pole branch. I was taking photos of him and Big Hook flew in and landed on a small branch below him. I've never seen this happen before. She'd had a bath. He was in full sun and she was in part shade so it was a bit tricky with the lighting and she looks a bit darker than she really is.
