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.

Great captures and updates everyone. Thanks so much. That was a huge fish EJ brought in. The chicks are still sleeping it off.
Paul, had a real good chuckle at your comment about the ships' log:)
Good night Margobird - and I'm with Margo there Lynette - it was good to catch up via your video. Thanks.

ha ha ha ha ah :) Fishermen beware - there be Ospreys here
Golly my heart got going there till I realized it was Eldest taking off ....
Ej and eldest returned to the nest, shouting and mantling because of intruder alert. As I type , EJ is off again.Big brother helping to defend.
Lynette: Brilliant video from earlier!! Thanks so much.
See that #3 is still practising!
Wow. Titch looks like he/she really wants to go today! Had to laugh in Lynette's video where that huge branch almost fledged too.
