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.

Morning All. Came on to nest with one chick on it - don't ask me which one it was! Now been joined by two others, all looking hopeful for more fish...
--- Edit: see now that one is EJ - just shows how much sun is on the lens, or is it my eyesight LOL!
Not sure which one is getting fed, junior is biding its time.

Just shows how awake I'm Not! EJ brought fish & is now dealing it out,,,
Junior or Titch, whichever name.
Hello, Lynette.
I just logged in to see EJ arrive with this huge fish and a little,"Here I am with a morsel. Who wants to share it with me?"
Chick on left of nest din't show any interest. Then the one that is now feeding flew in and when she offered him some he didn't want it! So I could imagine her thought,"Oh well, never mind. It's here when you are ready."

Its all strangely quiet, not much noise at all, and #3 ?? is just sitting near the camera as if resigned to not being fed yet!
Youngest and middle one I think are cowering as EJ alarm calls. Danger seems to be over and she starts to feed whilst the other two dunk down on the nest.
The one on the left could have had some. He just didn't show any interest at all.
