Hi everyone, I've not been in much to the site today, on and off. It was thought that the youngest had fledged but this is in doubt and until it is confirmed by The Team we can assume that it hasn't yet.
There have certainly been some near takeoffs and helped by the wind, the youngest has jumped and "flown" across the nest but this is all. It has been the eldest getting bolder and the middle one taking on more flights. There's time yet.
Peaceful scene here with two young on the nest and the eldest probably on the cam post or way to the left at the edge,, don't really know where he is.
Happy viewing and we'll see what to day brings. Over to the night shift.

EJ flies in shrieking and mantling ... only one young one on the nest .... another flies in to join them. EJ flies off in a hurry!

Odin arrives with a fish 16.11 ... the two young ones on the nest thought he was an intruder .... shrieked and mantled!! There is an intruder ... I can hear Odin chirruping in the back ground. One young one grabbed the fish ... not eating yet.
EJ flew in with a fish a few minutes ago. Didn't get clear view but she's still mantling with GEM #3 laying low.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
The third young one flies in ... the one a t the back is lying on the fish!
They are looking out:
I presume its #1 with the fish ... as per usual!!
The others know they won't be getting any yet!
Ooooh ... somebody tried to steal the fish .... major disagreement!
