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.

PLEASE someone - did Middle youngster arrive safely back to nest after fledging???
Night cam is on and they are sitting end to end, eldest looking out to the horizon.
Why isn't there a new Official Blog about the fledging? Is that bad ?

The link is in the latest blog towards the end.
Cirrus - as far as we know, Middle one hasn't been back to the nest.

Cirrus, he hasn't been back yet. Re new blog, I don't think they write them that quickly, it's usually some time later that news becomes "official". We have to just hope that he is with EJ safe until the next fish. That will bring him back. Fingers crossed until tomorrow.

It was quite amusing to watch as the eldest and youngest were following it and wondered where it had gone.
Lynette, DJoan Terry - thanks so much - it's a bit of a worry though isn't it with this ghastly weather. I just can't see the youngster staying on the nest post !!!!!!!!! It would have flumphed down to join its siblings in this weather for sure. Where on earth is EJ ? Did she turn up at the nest when the youngster had flown?
