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.

He now seems to have found some scraps or a chunk of fish and is eating from that, meanwhile Titch is still going at his.
AHHHH ... persistence pays off .... #2 has the leftover bit of fish from Titch!!

He will indeed Lynette ... its the first time I've seen him eat so much in one go since he started feeding himself!
Aha ... I just spotted #1 hiding in Odin's spot under the nest .... saw him stretch his wing out!
Middle chick throwing a wobbler because he got the remains of the fish stuck to his foot!!
Well, it seems Titch hasn't had much exercise since this morning when he was showing off his latest skills. Go fly your feed off, Titch.
Eldest seems to be calling now, whilst the middle one is at the far left of the nest and Titch on the right side at the edge.
Eldest just flew out from his hiding place and away!
LOL DjoanS, I was just going to say "Bother, bother, how do I get this fish off my foot?"
Or "Wow, you mean we're supposed to fly with this?"
Or - someone else's turn to be silly...
