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.

A late fish
OK what happened here? I was too busy posting
I missed that ... heard a commotion .... saw EJ with a fish and one young one pinched it from her!

Looks like an Odin delivery from your pic Cirrus!
Oh, DJoan -OK - Youngest has the fish then. I didn't see it being pinched from EJ But EJ is clearly still on the nest making her wishes known
EJ and one young one calling for another fish!
Cirrus - When I looked EJ had the fish and looked as if she was going to start feeding ... #3 had other ideas :-))
It appears #1 took the fish from EJ.
Titch is food soliciting
#1 mantles and verbally threatens anyone who is considering coming near him when he has a fish.
I can see the dark markings on the front of #1's head
EJ is calling Odin to bring another fish for Titch.

Right DJoaon I do wish Middle youngster would be more assertive - sigh
Actually, BarbaraJean- Eldest wasn't on the nest and 3 has it.
