Great shot Mary and if that's in bad light I'd be pleased to have taken it!
Birdies LG DU update.
I know Mike, I love that photo, the chick in the middle looks like it is having a bad hair day, but its only the Scots Pine behind him/her, it was positioned so well ha ha.....
Great photo of a very lovely family. New mum did very well.
She certainly did Tempo, 3 chicks from a first pairing is a fantastic result.
Some FABULOUS photos from Ron Mitchell on Facebook, and news that the third chick has fledged safely :-)
ALSO
Photos of one of the juveniles attempting to fish.
A SHORT VIDEO of the third chick coming back to the nest after its Fledge.
Thanks Mary.
Easier if you are the last one, as your siblings are not in the nest staring at you while you attempt to land... LOL
Ha Ha I like that Roberto :-)
Another great photo of one of the juveniles by Norman Davidson.

Thank you Mary.
A bit too far to judge the plumage, but from the behaviour when approaching the water I would say that dives seen are done by juveniles. A tradition for this family.
