Hi folks, its been a day of contrasts. Eldest has enjoyed his freedom by flying backwards and forward to the camera post and then landing on the nest. The other two have been doing exercising but as yet have not taken their maiden flights.
Only 2 fish late afternoon and then one very small one in the evening. They are keeping them lean and kean so to speak.
Two are asleep on the nest and the eldest is on the cam post, I think.
Happy viewing, see you in the morning.

Eldest has the fish
Youngest nearest the camera
Middle juve on EJ's perch - maybe she''ll go fly today
Cirrus was that the youngest that tried to grab the fish then??
Middle juve Ghengis - and right how she/he is pracising ''beaking''up a fish on a twig !! Well it was
Good evening everyone. I started catching up with the days’ events about 20 minutes ago and was very glad not to have missed a fledging. I noted that there had been at least three well-spaced out fish deliveries so the nest would be harmonious as all have eaten. Then at 18.26 EJ drops in with a fish and eldest causes havoc. Wonder if he will eat the lot or allow #2 or #3 some. I won’t hold my breath. In the meantime other sibling is flapping for all its worth. Thanks for all the light-hearted chat today. Its always uplifting after a busy day earning a crust.
I think Youngest thinks that 'sneaky sneaky' might pinch her a fish - but it won't . Hope EJ is fishing again and will feed the other two. Hopefully one of you will report the fact. I've got a bus to catch now. Enjoy your evening everyone.
sneaky didnt work that time ..... but i think there may be another attempt (maybe when #1 is not looking!!) :-)
Thanks Cirrus.
