Hello everyone,we have had a mixed day here at LG. Weather has been mixed but unfortunately no ringing, tagging and naming took place. We are still awaiting official word of when and if they are going to go ahead this year. As far as we know they will be R&T and naming them but when that will be is anyones guess. We will have to wait for the official confirmation and just be patient that bit longer.
The three are a bit restless, stretches, fidgiting, but at present are sitting low in the nest. Do take a look at ChrissyB's photo's in yesterdays blogs. Apologies if I've got the name wrong, I'm doing my best to remember who posted them.
After saying they were sleeping two are now up and wing exercising whilst one stays firmly sitting
Happy viewing and we await with anticipation what the morning will bring.

Oh my! One of those youngsters is really keen to go. I have to pop out. Will there be three on the nest when I return? EJ is dealing with an intruder so they are laying low at present. 'See' you all in an hour or so.
Intruder alert. Thought I saw a bird flying from the nest . EJ mantling and screaming and youngsters lying flat>
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
Intruder alert ... that made them put their wings away and lie low!

Lovely close up of of EJ .Djoan
great photo, Djoan
Odin still hasn't gone fishing by the sound of EJ's calling ... and there's no way she'll go just now if there's an intruder about.
Hurry up Odin. It must be easier to fish today. It is just that I don't think much of your offsprings' Dawn ( afternoon) chorus.
Intruder alert again .... maybe that is why Odin is still hanging around .... EJ was intently watching something flying past the nest .... Odin in pursuit maybe!
EJ is alarm calling. Must be an intruder about but not a threat.. Can hear Odin in the distance
Back on and catching up with the news. Now we know - patience has been rewarded and the LG team have let us know what is happening.
Thanks for all the posts and great pics. EJ is calling madly and the chicks are joining in - do you think they are hungry????????
