Hi, Its been a quiet sort of day if you don't count the wind which has been ferocious sounding at times, its the mike that picks it up.
Only 3 fish delivered all day, this no doubt due to the weather. but having said that the young ospreys have been well provided for over the last few weeks so a day without much probably won't harm them and in fact lett all that fat on them dissipate a bit, hmmmmm.
Seriously though, lets hope the weather is better today so that the ringing and tagging can take place which is scheduled for 8pm tonight.
The bairns are close together, some fidgiting going on and looking around but on the whole they are keeping their heads down with this wind.
Happy viewing everybody, see you in the morning, night, night.

Those GEMs are doing some heavy duty wingercising. One of them must've lifted about 2 feet in the air.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Joan, I am finding it quite frightening to watch. If they don't take off, they could be blown off or they could knock each other off.
Its certainly scary. Hooray! just found I can get the still cam now:
Mum back now and all flying activity has stopped, although they are all calling. Maybe for Odin.
EJ is back, and shouting - now the GEM's are joining in, too....

Fingers crossed Alan
Thanks for the forecast JSB.

EJ is still on the lookout, hoping for another fish from Odin--
I wish I had opened a book on whether these birds will have fledged before the ringing/tagging team get up there.
I still think it's possible today.
Best wishes Chris

Now she has flown off again.
The still cam is not taking pictures as often as it used to, now.
Back and caught up with posts and pics. Thanks Heron, DJoanS and Lindybird for fantastic pics and anyone else I've left out.
Ej has just flown off and one of the youngsters followed through where mum had gone. Its now watching something below. All preening and the eldest keeps doing wing exercises.
