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.

Eldest is back on his perch under the front of the nest ... I can see his head bobbing around sometimes!
EDIT - nice one Terry

The eldest is below the nest and middle one has been watching him and is now playing with what looks like a bit of fish. you can just see the top of the eldests head on the first one right at the back, and then his wing on the second.
Middle has just gone for a flyabout.
Well caught Lynette ... I've been trying to catch it for ages!!

Have to go and get dinner, am videoing in case there is some more action.
What happened then to eldest, seemed to have lost his balance, there was a great flapping of wings.
I saw that Lynette - I must go soon too!
Middle one flew back onto the nest and has now perched itself right on the edge, left sidel out of cam shot.
The rain has stopped , the sun has come out and I am all alone.
