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.

jsb - that's a brilliant idea to include pics of the chicks for ID purposes!

Both the young ones on the nest are screeching for food, #1 is on the cam post as you can hear it from time to time. Oh, that might have been it flying past then. It could be EJ answering back, not sure.
Phew !! I'm gobsmacked JSB - more power to you if you can work out how to do that , it would be absolutely marvellous !!!!! Still, there are some 'geeky' type bods on the site - I'm sure if they read your post they'd be willing to help.
Still no breakfast - glad this is not my first year watching. And Eldest still on the nest post I take it.
Both chicks are up and mouching about. Did anyone capture that beautiful wing feathers of #1 just then.
Am I seeing right - only one chick on nest or is it hiding???
Ah...it was hiding :o) Its off picture to the left I think.
Yes its there:o)
Both birdies dropped down in the nest there, something startled them.
I turn my back and there seems to be only one young one there .... anybody confirm that?
EDIT ... it was hiding to the left :-))
