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.

Have to say: EJ doesn't look particularlyl impressed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have thought she'd be throwing a party !!!!!!!!! :)
Cirrus ... if its on the post maybe EJ doesn't count that as a proper fledge :-)) I just wish we knew it was safe after its fledge

DJoan, please straighten me out - isn't the camera post some way away (see Chrissy B's photo) . Whereas the other nest post is right above where the two others are looking ??? The post where Rothes used to perch deciding she was too grown up to be in the nest. And where White TF used to sit at the end of the season ?????
Do WE count it as a proper fledge DJoan?
KNew that would happen. Half an hour away from house and miss all the action!
Cirrus - as far as I know(which isn't a lot!) you are correct .... the 'tree' is a distance away and the 'post' is above the nest. They change to the tree camera when they have fledged, for a wider view.
I'm not sure if the post counts as a fledge Cirrus ... and who was chirping off screen? It wasn't EJ or the two on the nest.
Heather B there is a law for that called s.....ds law. I missed it too.

Had a visit from my in-laws and missed the excitement. No update on the diary page from LG staff as yet. Hopefully someone will confirm what happened soon. Was anyone recording perhaps?
HeatherB - I was out all day until 3pm ... logged on and they were all there .... looked away ... and missed it AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH
