Hi everyone and a very warm welcome to all new bloggers and especially to Judy Teen, whom I didn't mean to be rude about but unfortunately it looked like it in an earlier post of mine yesterday.
Well what a day its been, first Titch looked like going then an intruder alert or something and he bottled it, then we were watching all afternoon and lo and behold when one isn't watching, HE GOES AND DOES IT - FLIES - Whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. There are links on yesterdays blog for the lift of if anyone missed it.
What will today bring, will he get bolder and show his skills off - lets hope so. Such a precious moment when he did it and in fact when they all did it.
He is alone at present, on the nest. No doubt his siblings are around and probably roosting nearbye.
Over to the night shift and happy viewing. See you all in the morning.

Well, was blathering on Weekly Chat and now see cam is back up (must've been down for a very short time - maybe it was me).
Yes AQ and Barbara Jean: It'll be hit and miss from now on - but at least we won't all be glued to the screen waiting for Titch to fledge!
Well, I'm about to call it a night folks. Could hear someonce calling a few minutes ago, but no action on the nest.
G'night Barbara Jean and AQ. Have a good Tuesday folks.
Now we just need to leave the sound turned up so we can hear if there is activity on the nest .
EJ & Odin will still bring fish to the nest .
We just won't have the privilege of watching them learn new skills as they explore . For me watching them grow and learn new skills every day was a pleasure
Good night Annette I am going to bed too

FISH delivery by EJ. Judging by behaviour it is Eldest who has flown in to take fish, snarl at mother, turn his back and feast. No "thank you mother dear for fetching beakfast" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EJ has flown off, perhaps to fetch another fish for possibly more grateful offspring.
Another GEM has flown in. Titch I guess. No way is Eldest sharing. Yes, must be Titch as he is wingercizing. Now peering hopefully in direction of fish. LOL
EJ returns, alarm calls. Titch plays dead. Eldest not fazed, just carries on feasting.
Titch has a grizzle. "Mam, big brother won't share. I'm hungry." EJ appears unconcerned. Tough love.
Third GEM has flown in. Food soliciting so loud I have to turn volume down. Eldest is determined that fish is his. EJ flies off - either to fish or for a quieter perch.
Hi all! Missed the actual action yesterday, but thank heavens we have YouTube, Alan, ChloeB and others :)
