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.

I was just thinking that Linda:) More I see, the more I think he/she is yet to go.
Great pic Lynette .
It is amazing that the eldest , at such a young age, rushes to the nest to help EJ defend it. Or defends the nest on his own if EJ is not in the area.
He is a survivor!!

Its a great pity that we won't know the fate of #1, as I can see that he is going to be quite a character - as you say, a survivor, Barbara Jean.
See that Titch is stretching out a wing as he had the nest all to himself, until just then I caught sight of another GEM on EJ's branch to the right.
