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.

Can anybody identify the one who is still on the nest? I thought it was #3.

I'm even more sure its #3 now as it can't fly yet!
The way it is wingercising, I think it must be #3 on the nest!
EDIT - the way its going it could go soon too!
No 3 is still practising - he says "I want to do it, too"
EJ says "There, there dear, you'll be flying like them soon, here just have some more fish...."
After much wing flapping, he/she decided to stay for some more food!

EJ just put her head on one side, listening & I think I can hear No. 2 calling from down below somewhere.

That's exactly what I thought Linda, when I saw her hold out the fish!

We're all thinking the same thing here!

Its all been very entertaining, Joan. EJ is now eating some of the leftover fish herself. Of course, as it was an EJ fish, it was a fair size.
