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.

So it was #1 who moved the branch. Appologies #1.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Daisy: Indeed - I know that intellectually. Have been watching the birds for a couple of years now and this trio has been much easier to watch than last year's, but even then the most timid chick finally figured it out. :-)
#2 finishing off the fish; #3 contemplates fledging:
Sandy: And for good reason! After all, hanging about the nest isn't doing him/her much good right now - doesn't even get to eat.
Hi there. New to this, have only used the blog up to now so hope it works. I won't be around that much but have started to read the daily updates this past few days and am just enjoying the fantastic season. Is there a quick way to go straight to the latest page when you log on? Currently I select 5 and then seem to be able to skip 2 pages at a time.
Hello, Trish2, and welcome to this thread. Its a great place to be! (no arguing!) I usually set my favourites bar to come onto the main Forum & then look for 'Daily update' & click on the blue bit marked 'last post' by the last contributors name there, which brings you here....
Here is latest pic of the nest:

Welcome Trish2; just pop in whenever you have a minute. I do the same as Lindybird to reach the latest post.
Hi Trish2 :-)You'll really enjoy the Daily Updates. There's a great atmosphere. Although the Ospreys have a tendancy to make your posts obselete as soon as you hit the "post" button. LOL.
EJ with the biggest fish ever!!
