Just thought I'd check on the youngsters... good grief!
22:06 Three on the nest - 2 were helicoptering! Unable to read the ring numbers
22:09 The one that was on the left landed over on the right side, looking over the nest
22:14 It moved back over to the left. Settling down
22:18
It does still appear to be quite light
22:50 Three youngsters asleep. Hopefully the 4th will be back on the nest in the morning

04:51 082 flies off

082 has flown again enjoying his new found freedom
080 stands blocking the rising sun as it glare now casts upon the nest.
080 then flies off leaving 081 and 083 resting
083 flaps his wings
080 and 082 return
all awaiting breakfish
033 was on the nest for a bit moving sticks around and has flown.
082 is on/off the nest teasing 081 who has been flapping his wings and great helicoptering. At one point I thought he was away!
