After a long day of waiting for food the juvi's finally got their daily pigeon delivery. At least I guess that's what it was that the female brought in at 18:45! All I saw where the left overs half an hour later. They feasted on it, the 5 of them very hungry as they where.
It has been a very warm day all over the continent. No birds to be seen all day. They have been all in hiding because of the warmth. So no possebility of prey to catch. I saw the same problem in most of the european nestsites. In Rome they didn't get any food either until late in the afternoon. And fought over it, screaming.
No doubt there has been al lot of screaming involved here in Oberhausen as well when the prey was brought in and majestic wingflapping. After this meal the evening dis set in very quickly and with warm full crops our 3 juvi's went to sleep.
