Hi everyone, been a bit hit and miss yesterday. Very windy conditions and the youngest almost made it but not quite. I think 4 fish were delivered in total. The wind has died down now and there are two peaceful looking ospreys on the nest Eldest one is probably roosting nearbye. Happy viewing to the night shift, see you all in the morning.

The chick on the right side has a problem His "launching branch" is loose. He may accidently fly off with it if he hangs on too long .
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
Who lives near there? :-)
You're right Barbara Jean: I think it's his "security blanket" but not a very secure one. I was watching a day or so ago and when he/she lifted up he took the branch with him. Seems very attached to it! Now getting fueled up with some food from EJ.
I'm going to log off now folks. Very tired. Take care all!

I think so too!
Lets hope he knows he should let go of the branch he is standing on if he becomes airborne :)
The branch is not anchored into the barricade
What a lovely scene this afternoon / morning / or whatever it is - a circle of GEMs being fed peacefully by EJ. OK it must be dawn by the light.

How do you think Richard would feel about a hole in the roof caused by a large branch falling from the sky ?LOL
Another donation needed to fix the roof :)
Morning - and 'night AQ. I'm really signing off this time. And Barbara Jean, I think the last thing Richard needs right now is a hole in the roof! :-)
Only one being fed. Won't tell you who as I'm a member of HGAC. Other pair standing on opposite edges of nest.
The last fed has flown.
EDIT I reckon the one on left is Titch as he is wingercising.
Intruder alert.
