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.

Chloe- there seems to be a fault with the link
There was also a shuffling kind of noise a moment or two ago and the two on the nest looked round, but nothing since. It sounds as though EJ is calling off camera and one of the youngsters is looking in the direction of the camera.
Down it comes from the post bless it :)
Return of the braveheart but it all sounded a bit clumsy just like a bairn learning to walk!
Its back .... just jumped down from the post

Youngster is back in one piece - phewee! Intruder still seems to be around. Hooray. A safe fledging. EDIT - maybe not a fledging if it was on the post.
Chloe - your link worked for me!
It was Eldest after all -- sorry
Cirrus - I got the link but haven't watched it all yet,' noises off' sent me back to the nest cam
PS Thanks Chloe
Oh, I hope someone caught the return of our adventurer on video! EJ actually jumped out of her skin as he landed!!
