Well folks, its been a disappointing day in the fact that the three bairns will not be named,tagged or ringed but that has come from official lines as I hope all of you have seen and we have to acknowledge the expertise of the powers that be.Nevertheless, there has been a lot of wing exercising and mini flights on the nest during the course of the day. Not many fish were delivered, but hey, they have to get trim so they can fledge properly.
Paul, you will see that I have replied to you on the last of the posts for yesterday.
All at peace and sleeping with the odd plink plonk of what sounds like rain.!!!!!!!
Happy viewing and see you in the morning, night, night.

Lovely contented scene on the nest just now ... EJ finishing off the fish, so no one can be hungry! One watching the world, one preening and one lazing :-)

EJ is finishing off the fish whilst the three do what teenagers do. Looks sunny and windy there.

Very windy and some rain today, much like LG. Having read Richard's blog, I think I was nearly right on Thursday when I joked about hearing a ladder...

Great captures Lindybird. I promised I would do an hour's gardening today.....might be difficult.
Oh yes TerryM. I recall your post(s) from Thursday - think they tried their best but it wasn't to be this year.
Like your pics Lindybird, caught the moment . Two sitting , one pondering what to do next. I'll do an EJ on one foot.
Preening time now...
