Hi everyone,
Its been an uneventful day except that EJ went fishing for the first time since the chicks came along and brought back a whopper of a fish. I believe there was a total of 8 brought to the nest but will be corrected if I am wrong.
Two of our young ospreys were preening but now only one who has got up and is still at it. The other two are asleep.
Nearly the end of June already and look how they've grown!!
Enjoy the night viewing wherever you are. Night, night.

Can hear an Osprey in the background. Eldest up and walked straight to the barrier, good job it was there lol . Now picking at the moss, constantly calling. Steps up onto the barrier with one footLooking like he serioulsy wanst to go and get fish for himself. Great wing exercising.

All preening those feathers:
"Tell you what, I'll go right to the edge near where Mum does, and look..."
Now they're all up at this end, by the camera again... fiddling with the barricades and copying Mum.
Looks like only one youngster in this pic, (at 1st glance) but they are all there, I can assure you.
EJ has been gone for quite a while, so I am expecting her to return with a fish.
Thanks for all the posts and clips everyone ... I haven't managed to get on much today ... just quick glances at the screen in passing ... en route from the garden ( its pouring with rain here now so that's the end of the gardening). I gather we are awaiting a fish delivery ... from EJ or Odin!

It's been rather a tense day, really, DjoanS - no fish since this morning, have to think its the wind making it harder to see the fish...
