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.

Missed all the fish action as I was out with the Thunderdog. Must be a bit easier for Odin today.
"Is that it, then? Isn't there any more??"
EJ left briefly, then came back to check the barricades again:
Sorry if this question has already been asked but is it the case that as the juveniles get ready to fledge, the parents don't bring as much fish to the nest ?
I logged on a few minutes ago to see four birds on the nest. I was having difficulty working out which one was EJ as they were all facing me .... until one of them flew off .... that solved the problem!

Missed the fish action, as I was in the back garden, armed with washing, pegs, and muttered swear words. So thanks for the updates and pics, eveyone. :-)Paul.

Understand that to be the case, Heather. they don't need as much now that they have grown to nearly full size, and they musn't be too big, & too full to take off!
(hope you were dealing with the washing in a manly way, Heron! - as described by Alan in the past!)
All settled down again now, out of the wind and cosy together:
