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.

Something is still bothering EJ. The GEM who is eating (at the top end of this pic), has hold of a fish and is making the most of it while everyone else is watching...
Is Eldest left of EJ? I've been away - getting ready to to to work
Have a brilliant evening margobird and enjoy your visitors. :-)

Yes Cirrus.
Oh, I've just had a thougtht ........... now that Eldest and Middle hatched can both 'eat on their own' now , there will probably be some right royal battles over fish. Oh well. :) (I hope)
Hi Cirrus,
Not been on here for a few days, busy with work, and watching the LoL (where I saw the first one fledge)
I gather one of 'ours' here has already taken its first flight. Great news! That must be it that has just landed, as I gather neither No.2 nor 3 have fledged yet.
Here's a shot of it just landed at 16:10, with No.2 (I presume) eating the fish:
EJ is now feeding No.1 - as if it can't feed itself!!

I believe flippin' Greedy Guts as someone called him is having mum feed him with the left over fish end.
Greedy guts is at it again, EJ is feeding the eldest one. Youngest has got up and is going over for some, pushing middle one out of the way, I think.
Greedy Guts is also a right noisy so-and-so :-)

Yes, pretty sure you are correct Lynette. Youngest now also being fed.
