Hi everyone.Well what a day we had on the 15th. Foogy start, six fish, and endless other dramas. Sound fairly windy at LG at the moment. I guess those chicks are learning about a Scottish "summer" at as early an age as possible. LOLPaul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Oh yes, I couldn't pay close attention to the feeding but it looked to me as if second and youngest got the lion's share or did I miss something? And was Eldest fed sufficiently do you think?
EDIT thanks Pharazon - JUST what I need (read above)
I wonder what they are all watching?

Oh, I can see now. Eldest did not look too motivated to eat at the beginning of the feed - must have been stuffed from the 9 something feed. Still, that was 3 hours ago so I'm surprised. She got some towards the end then.

Lynette they make me laugh as well when they do that, co-ordination not quite there at the moment. they are all certainly sitting up and taking an interest at what is over the top of the nest.

All quiet, chicks are being curious and having a look over the side of the nest while EJ keeps watch.

Afternoon HeatherB so it is ospreyitis that is causing me to transpose letters or spell things incorrectly.
Just looked at Gary's video mentioned on page 7 here - how much smaller and less feathered the chicks were then - and it was only 3 days ago!!!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Aaaaargh! Just had good friend on the phone, gossiped for nearly 40 minutes (glad she was paying...)
I could hear the noises from the nest, and thought that there must have been another feed. Thanks to all for pics, reports and clips.
'beakfast' seems a good word to me....
...think the typing goes to large when you hit the Control key on the bottom left sometimes, whilst trying to be quick....
Looks quiet on the nest, EJ doing her yoga, the terrible three having a look around. Probably waiting for lunch.
