Hi folks, It was a windy and damp day yesterday. Lots of vigorous exercising by Middle and Youngest. Thought at one time the middle one would take off, it was certainly doing so across the nest. I think 5 fish in all were delivered by both parents between them. All at rest now. Ahhhhhhhhnight, night, see you all in the morning.

Thought we were off again, then.....
HI Margo. I wonder when they think the wind is just right and when it could be too strong.
Great pics Lindybird and Brenda H of the take off attempts. They made me smile when I was watching.

I love hearing the the excited whistles when they do this.
Just preening at he moment and possibly adjusting the'wing flaps'.
EJ flies in gracefully, with a huge stick.....
EJ back and now gone again.
WHAT NO FISH ??????

Ha Ha Brenda - makes me think of that "checking for takeoff" routine that they go through on planes....
Snap with the picture, Brenda - I nearly put on mine that they were looking carefully at EJ's feet!
