  • Sorry - just me - got 2 webcam's going on at once - the noise was the Osprey's.  Doh! Do not adjust your 'set's' !!

  • One last capture for the night:

    Gawd bless 'em.  Of course all four will fledge - Saturday 26th!  Can't get down before then so they better hang on!

    The chicks are doing well despite the weather, a bit quiet on the food front today. And there are still definately still four chicks. Despite their size one always manages to hide behind the other three, so don't worry if it looks like one is missing! Also in this weather thwy will tend to rest, so if they dont look that active their is probably nothing wrong they are just conserving energy.They are calling a lot a the momment though and that is probably because they think its time for the adults to bring in some food!

  • I think it's precisely because of their size that one has to hide behind the other three - there just ain't room for 4 any more! Wider box next year? :-)

  • They do look rather splendid this morning. Those parents should be very proud of all their efforts. Another little critter just bit the dust...
