Well, hello all, Wasn't able to be around at all yesterday as tied up with final day of Kids Summer Club and Concert. Fab week, but can now get back to serious osprey watching.
Seems it was a varied day with deliveries of fish and comings and goings of youngsters on the nest. Some fantastic shots by lots of you and have saved some for my portfolio. At present EJ is still on the nest as she was when I logged on about 11.30pm yesterday. Over to the night shift, happy viewing, see you in the morning.

She is still there and has found some remnants of a fish and is eating them. Now looking around her , she seems lost , no GEMs to feed, all alone, perhaps not long now to migration!!!!!
HiThanks for starting the new thread Lynette. EJ still on the nest, perhaps planning what stops she'll make on her migration root. Either that or she's got hold of a laptop, read some of my posts and is in a state of shock. ;-)Paul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Well folks, it's the wee small hours of the morning, so I'm going away to roost. EJ still on the nest. See you all tommorrow. :-)
Paul.
Thanks Lynette and Paul
EJ still on the nest at 2.30am
She looks so majestic, even at night

EJ is still on the nest. The last time I recall her doing this was last year the day Rothes left. She stood all night on the nest with the remains of a fish for Rothes.
She looks like she is waiting for somebody . In Spring when she is waiting for Odin to return she stands on the nest day and night looking for him until he comes back.
Does anyone remember what day last year that Rothes left?
Is it possible that eldest left ?
We certainly don't get much information any more from the center. They didn't even activate the camera in the tree this year for close up pictures. They have not told us how far from the nest the juves are flying. Where they are roosting. Nothing ..

It is light enough now to see that EJ has been standing on the remains of a fish all night . She is nibbling on it now. No Juves on the nest , but I hear one ( or more) chirping in the background
The juves are making a racket as if Odin brought them a fish to the TREE. It sounded like a fight over the fish. I can hear Titch yelling at it. Now Middle came to the nest to be fed. Sure wish the other camera was activated.
EJ left and Middle is alone on the nest calling to someone . Now Middle flew off. ENS
Middle has developed a very hoarse voice.
Looks like I am all alone on the night shift tonight. LOL
Barbara Jean - Think Rothes was last seen on 9 Aug 2009.
Please pass the aspirins. Gems are all yelling in unison . Only one is on the nest, but the others are close by.
It is Titch on the nest yelling non-stop as loud as he can while scrounging for scraps
EDIT Suddenly all is silent. EJ and Odin must have gone fishing or to the chemist for a head ache remedy LOL
In either case they must have left the area.
EJ: "If we don't get a fish soon and shut that bunch up my head will explode"
Odin: "Mine already did" " I'll race you to the fishing pond "
