If you read the blog above Willow you will see that she helicoptered up out of camera view but that is not a true 'fledge' which involves a departure from the nest in proper flight. A full fledge is certainly due and clearly imminent.
Birdies LG DU update.
Maya frantically mantling
She has flown
Hi Patily. Chicks settled at the moment.No sign of Maya or 33.
More helicoptering earlier but resting now.
Usual scene of 2 chicks resting
Frantic flapping here. One chick jumped across the nest and nearly missed the edge! It looks like a contest between here and LoL as to which one has the first fledge.
Large fish on the nest and one chick self feeding. No adults in sight.
