Well folks, its been an exciting day despite the weather. The middle chick increased its wing exercising and almost went this afternoon but no, it was this evening at about 19.37pm that it fledged. Alison posted a link on the main blog. In case anyone missed it , it is: www.youtube.com-watch Its only short but it shows clearly it taking off.
At present we don't know where it is. The eldest and youngest are on the nest with we hope middle one on a tree sheltering from the wind. Only the morning will tell and hopefully when there is a fish delivery it will come back onto the nest
The eldest has had a few forays out into the big wide world also but #3 is still at home but has been practising. What will tomorow bring??

Hi, just got in from a shopping trip. Thanks for all the updates and pics.
Link to video I took earlier this morning of Odin arriving with fish, then EJ, then #2 right at the back. This is towards the end of the clip.
Go into YouTube and type in:YouTube - Fish arrival,all the family 17.7.10.avi and you should get it.
I'll try for a proper link too.
OK, who was left on the nest alone ?
Hey Watcher 2: I'm clueless (no surprise there); thanks for confirmation of the correct keystroke. :-)

Ha Ha Linda. You couldn't have given a better reply.
Watching the nest.#3 was left alone, #1 had already gone for a flyabout, then #2 . Now all three are back.
Hopefully this is the correct for video I took earlier this morning: Bear with me Im new to posting it to YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmoVWfmVIso

You are not being a nuisance. Most of us haven't even tried.
