Hi everyone.
Can't believe how fast this evening has flown in. Well yestarday was an exciting day with fish deliveries in the wind, intruders being swiftly dealt with, and the youngsters getting closer to making their first flight. Especially when one levetated several inches above the nest. Wonderful stuff. Can't wait to see what tommorrow brings. :-)

Lynette D said: Did anyone see that. One of the youngsters was wing exercising, took off and hopped onto the side of the nest nearest the camera. It then went back onto the nest and has gone to the back of the nest. Two sitting down in this wind and the third one (the one that took off) is thinking about it.

Yes, Lynette I saw that and was holding my breath as there was a moment when I thought it might go too far!

I missed that Lynette - I was out watering my wall pots in the garden! If they don't hurry up & ring those chicks it will be too late :-) Lets hope the weather is calmer tomorrow as has been suggested.

Morning, ALL. Thanks for yesterday's brilliant reports and pictures and also for the overnight and earlier comments today. I thought I was going to miss the R/B yesterday.
Three contented birds on the nest at the moment.
EJ is now calling Odin.
