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.

Well, it might have been Margobird - but without anyone else 'shouting' about a fledging elsewhere I rather suspect it was Eldest. We'll have to keep our eyes peeled.
Currently, it is Yougest and Middle clhick on the nest.
I'vegot the live camera now ... not through the usual RSPB site but via the Carnyx site. Have I missed a fledging?

No DJoan - it's just difficult to tell the youngsters apart . Youngest and Middle chick currently on nest and Eldest on camera post I assume
The one at the back of the nest has just been practising jumping from one end of the nest to the other.
