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.

Unknown said:But how do I delete them Brenda - I could not find a delete button I have 209 pages
The only way I know is to open each comment ( as though you are reading it) and then it automatically deletes. I was asking if there is any other way of just deleting them in one go. Obviously not as I see I am not the only one.
It's been a wonderful day for watching the LG nest. Running in and out according to the noise on the speakers, I managed to catch two fish deliveries with Odin arriving first..... AND managed to see him approaching the nest with one. Just love the way ospreys catch and carry the fish. Turning it so that it is horizontal, nose first, for the streamline effect, one foot in front of the other. He was followed by EJ and then #1 wasn't going to miss a chance of food. So all 5 on the nest at one time. #1 beginning to look and sound like Odin, just much fatter. Poor Odin I think he has workrd his 'fingers to the bone'.
The mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work if it's not open.
Its quite striking how much # 1 now looks like his father, so I think most of us have now come around to agreeing with Roy that this one is def. a male, (I thought at first that the 2 older ones were females, now I'm really not sure about # 2!)
Middle one just had a stretch and flapping of wings which took it over to the side with the wnd.
OOOoooh! No. 2 is now flying across the nest again!
I'm sure it can't be easy trying to learn to fly in such a wind. Here are 3 birds together just now:
"Hey, Buster, look where you flap those wings, will you!"
"I'm sure I can do it!"
and some more which took him across the nest again
Great captures Lindybird, he was virtually going with wind assistance.
