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.

We could see him peeking over the edge of the nest :) That may be where the eldest sits

Well two chicks snoozing so let's hope they stay that way for a while.
Lynette: Don't feel "obliged" to stay up late to start the thread. There's always at least one of us lurking somewhere in the world who will be happy to do it if you're tired, etc. :-)
Think I made a bloomer about 3 fledging Sorry bloggers, think I got mixed up with 2. I will blame it on old age lol. That is my excuse anyway.
Here's tae us

Yes, Watcher2, I've just looked at it again and I think it was almost certainly #2 and not the eldest. #3 is still doing wing exercises but looks as if it will go any minute.

thanks everyone and great reports.
Watcher2, please don't feel bad. If the people at the center can't tell them apart, what hope do we have! Keep posting the videos:)
