Hi everyone, got the date right today.
Its been a day of lots of activity , fish deliveries, flying practice and of course going on flyabouts.
As you can see from the pic below we now have "empty nest syndrome" as it looks like Titch has gone to roost elsewhere. Probably in his adventures yesterday he found a nice tree he could roost in for the night and has gone to do so. Nice thought.. Happy viewing to our nght shift. See you all in the morning.

Thanks BrendaH and Lindybird for fish count. As I type two on nest and obviously wanting more fish.

Hello margobird ... I don't know what EJ is doing ... that's the third stick she has brought in as many minutes!

She returns again with even more twigs. I don't think the chicks are amused.
Poor things ... they definitely thought fish was on the menu there ... all three of them turned up .... and it turned out to be stick after stick :-((
Evening Brenda H and DjoanS what on earth is EJ thinking. Youngsters don't need fencing in anymore but perhaps she is trying to make a nice bed for them if any of them choose to stay overnight. From the racket it is obvious they want fish not sticks.
Thanks to all for all the pics, much appreciated as always.
Rather funny that EJ thinks sticks are what's needed. Maybe she's thinking of keeping up appearances for next year? I'm off for a sit down now, rather tired.
Have to go now as OH will be back with food shopping for me to put away. Have a good evening all and as I leave just one youngster on the nest, think it is Titch but not sure as usual.

Is EJ tidying up the house before she leaves ?? No one wants to come home to a mess after a long trip :)
Doesn't she usually leave the first part of August? I know she left very late last year

2 GEMS waiting quietly on the nest. Trying to get prime spot for the next fish I wonder?
