Hi everyone, last day of June already. I have just been looking at my pics of when they were first born backend of May, from three tinies to three huge young ospreys, the rate of growth in a month seems phenomenal.
Anyhow on to yesterday, A more or less routine day with the three getting up to their usual antics and EJ keeping a motherly eye on them most of the time. She did leave the nest on occasions for longer periods, one to go fishing and bring back a whopper, round about teatime this was.
All three are resting with fidgiting and wing stretching inbetween. EJ must be on her roost tree nearbye as she isn't on the nest.
I am signing off now, see you in the morning. Happy viewing.

Her return disturbed all the youngsters, and now they are all up and complaining again....

They have such wonderful expressions Lindybird, I can't help but keep snapping away! Off into the garden now ... if I can find somewhere cool to sit :-)

Doesn't seem 5 minutes ago that the nest had a few little helpless chickies in it, now look at them...
More..... preening and cleaning......
--I'm off into the garden myself, for a cuppa in the sun...
EJ has just come back, I could hear her shouting before she landed on the nest - is it intruders or Odin?
She is chirping and looking upwards - the GEM's are all lying down obediently....
Whatever the threat was, it seems to have passed - EJ now preening, and the chickies are all starting to complain about their empty stomachs again.
It must be an intruder. It is a shame Odin doesn't land now with a fish . All the chicks are up against the back barrier and there is a decent size landing pad for him. :)
