Hi folks, not a lot has happened yesterday.. There was some acitivity in the morning and very little in the afternoon/evening unless I missed anything.
Are they perhaps getting ready for migration. We non't see the GEM's on the nest quite so frequently now, could they be fishing themselves or are EJ and Odin dropping fish into trees as was suggested yesterday, for them to pick up. This is a part of the ospreys life that we don't know much about but what a preveledge to watch them through all these weeks growing up. I'm prattling on just for something to say. I'll hand over tothe night staff and leave you with a poinant reminder of the nest. -- DESSERTED!!

Hi Joan - that's definitely an EJ fish!!
The GEM doesn't look terribly hungry ... just looking around, and no sign ... or sound ... of the other two.

Thanks for being better on the ball than me Brenda Lindy Djoan and Lynette :)
Hi Linda and Cirrus ... yes, definitely an EJ special!
EDIT - it is so good to see them not ravenously hungry :-))
Well, it was making a huge racket - but now its totally silent, and looking all around as if for some threat - don't quite know what's happened.
Must go and finish sorting lunch ... back later!
Nice one Lindy - very clear . Well, this is one GEM not particularly interested in its fish - like yesterday. He eventually flew off and left it in the nest for Odin to snaffle.
