Evening folks,
It was an action packed day yesterday with the eldest enjoying his new found freedom, unwanted visitors and EJ protecting the youngsters. The two left on the nest were practicing their wing flapping, hopefully one will fledge tomorrow if not both. Didn't see a lot of the action but recorded some.
All peaceful at present. Happy viewing to all in the early hours and see you in the morning, night, night.

Now I've got her!!!! hurray!!
EDIT: Notice that the still cam is now once again showing the wrong time - this was taken only 30 seconds before I put it on the blog....
Got her again - she has been staring right at us, its unnerving....
EJ certainly is giving us lovely close-ups Linda - she is one beautiful osprey! Those piercing eyes ... how any intruder dares to tangle with her I don't know :-)
Joan - avid bird and nature watcher in Northumberland!

Great pic of EJ Lindybird, she really is a beauty. I am always drawn to her eyes.

Not much action since I was last here. Lovely studies of EJ's head and eyes. We could do with some like that of the chicks for ID purposes, but they are not easy to catch.
EJ in full attack mode ... flies onto the nest shrieking and mantling
That intruder is being really persistent today DjoanS. EJ just looks fierce you would have thought the intruder would have learnt its lesson now and leave her alone.
Geat captures Lindy and DJoan- I had to dash out to the PO. Doesn't look as if much has changed Brenda since we last viewed. Still an intruder and the youngsters huddled at bottom of nest
Hi Cirrus looks as though EJ has decided to stay for now in case that intruder comes back.
Just thinking, another sad aspect of not being able to ring these chicks, ......... in three years time we could all be watching again, enthralled by the goings -on at this nest and perhaps referring to one of these three as "that pesky intruder" not knowing it to be one of EJ and Odin's offsprings.
