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.

Looks like almost goodnight to the day shift. Thanks for great pix and observations. And yes Tiger, Titch is looking less wary all the time. Fascinating to watch.
Off to do stuff and think about dinner. Back in a bit.
I'm watching you!!!!!!!!!
EJ is calling softly but I don't think she will be in luck. Youngest at the back and middle one to the right are looking at something and EJ has just flown off. She was probably telling them she was off for the night.

I see it too. I sure hope it doesn't decide to take the leap tonight. We will worry all night again until we find out it landed safely somewhere.

They are both looking at something below, even after mum went. And the youngest is still doing wing practice.
I think it was David on the main blog from the center said the eldest roosts on a branch "under the nest" Maybe that is what they are looking at
Remember the branch Odin used to play hide and seek with EJ . We could see him peeking over the edge of the nest :) That may be where the eldest sits
Looks like younest and middle one are settling for the night. Eldest is either to the extreme left off cam or on the cam post or even in a tree somewhere.
