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.

I'll have to amend that, ghengis, - if you saw what happened. Thought it was a fish EJ had brought..
Hi Lindybird, Sandy has captured EJ retrieving the fish from under the chick, it was the fact that it didnt move when she dragged it out from underneath it that made me laugh ........... it was like, yeah, whatever mum, have it if you want....!!
Thanks ghengis - we need to know, for the fish count for the day each day. : - )
Lots of 'vocals' from all the young ones as the feeding goes on...
Its all gone now, and the GEM's are stomping around the nest, looking for leftovers, and shouting for more FOOD!! what a racket!!
The site has gone increasingly s l o w lately.
EJ has left them, and no wonder after all that noise. They are all dozing again.
The site is painfully s l o w to refresh or post :-(
I'm glad EJ has left ... at least it shut the GEMs up!! I spoke too soon ... its started again.

Odin just brought in a huge fish
Sounds like Odin's coming in ... oh yes .... huge excitement on the nest. All interested in food this time.
That is a very full and very noisy nest!
Very unusual feeding line up this time ... one on each side ... and one between her feet!
