Hi everyone, not seen much of the action yesterday as I have been on and off the computer. Believe it had its moments though.
All quiet as all three GEM's are sleeping and EJ must be roosting in a tree nearbye.
Not sure what the weather is doing, it sounded like a shower earlier.
Happy viewing, see you all in the morning.

Hi Annette
The main blog said they would be ringing next week. They thought the tails had to be a bit longer before they fledge.
It is clear when EJ goes to her tree and not fishing. #1 follows her with it's eyes.. You can see where she went just by watching #1. The other two occasionally watch her leave , but not as intently as #1.

FISH. Was that brought in by EJ? GEMs not in a hurry to feast.
EJ just brought in a massive fish, still flapping..
biggest one i've seen this year by far
Thanks, Pharazon. I have too many windows open (multi-tasking) and was relying on my ears. As usual one prefers to wingercise rather feed.

Is this the first fish of the day?
OH Yuk!!
One chick backed up to the edge and let it go , but the wind took it right into EJ :(
She may go for a bath right after breakfast

Odin's obviously nursing a hangover
One feasting, one resting and one housekeeping. I'm off to get tea. Over to Day Shift & I'll catch your reports tomorrow. PS. Windy at LOTL too.
