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.

Have to go out, to the gym, back later.
DJoanS - It sure is a mystery :o) Glad you noticed it too, thought I was imagining it at first! Maybe one of the team at LG can enlighten us :o)
Its lovely to see EJ on the nest for such a long time ... we haven't seen her much lately and I suppose we will see less and less of her now they have all fledged.

Short Stuff - I suppose the 'extra fish' could be the remains of the one Eldest was eating first thing ... then it was passed on to Youngest ... I am not sure if it was finished!

Well, Short Stuff - There's a pic of EJ with a foot on a partially eaten fish (I think she brought that earlier) on earlier pages of this DU and then Odin turns up with a fish. Is there more than two fish on the nest then?
Thanks DJoanS and Cirrus must have been the remains of that earlier fish, was very confused there :o)
And STILL a partially eaten fish under EJ's foot - looks like Youngest has left now it's full of confidence it can fly leaving Middle juve on the nest with Mamma
Middle juves definitely a girl I think - she's as big as EJ ! Oh, no, think I'm wrong - it looks like Youngest is now eating the remains of Odin's fish
