Hi folks, It was a fantastic day yesterday, despite the wind. There was a fledginging of the eldest chick and confirmed by the LG team.
Lots of wing exercising by all three, I think 4 fish were delivered, and intruder alets at times. In all, a normal day .
All quiet on the nest, the usual fidgiting going on.
Happy viewing, see you in the morning.

EJ just came back in a flurry of wings, and has brought a huge branch!
-- she is, as usual moving it around the nest and upsetting everyone!
One of the GEM's is trying to help, but getting in the way - they are all shouting so much they have made my dog start barking.
As I said last night, thanks for yeterday's brilliant reporting and pictures.
Everyone seems to be waiting for breakfast
Looks like #1 flew up on the post again!

The Eldest just went for a "fly-about" He jumped and took off like a pro !
You could see exactly where he was by watching the other two chicks as they followed him with their eyes. They were in awe of it all. He circled the nest a couple of times . Then he landed on the camera post on the nest . I think he is still on the camera post . The other two have gone back to preening , but stopping from time to time to look up where their brother is sitting

Morning all ... thanks for overnight posts and pics. I just logged on before my last post and heard a flurry of wings and 'noises off' ... both GEMs on the nest were looking at the camera post!
I was writing on the Weekly page, when my OH came in and said "where's the other one?" !!!!!
#1 is definitely on the camera post ... you can hear the noise on the microphone!

Awe--It sounds like he is stuck up there and can't figure out how to get down to the nest . He needs to practice landing on the nest instead of the camera post -
EDIT Now he is screeching "help" a couple of times up there LOL
I'll bet if EJ or Odin bring a fish he will figure out how to get down
I think he likes it up there - it makes him feel superior!
