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!!

Thanks for clearing that up Brenda - I went into the kitchen and missed EJ's delivery! It doesn't look like her usual whale though :-)

I am sure EJ thought she was going to feed the one chick on the nest, but she really was caught unawares by the flying gem.
Thanks Brenda H don't know how I missed that but no wonder it has gone quiet, well almost another still calling from nearby.

Three on the nest now.
All three GEM's on the nest now although you can only just about see one of them. The one eating is looking around so perhaps there is an intruder bothering them. Now both of them are looking up so something is attracting their attention.
Going to go now have spent a lot of time watching today but thanks to all for chat and most importantly your company, always such a pleasure. Goodnight and hope you all have a good night.
From Alison, again.

EJ's delivery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a92IXybY5pw
Looks like EJ brought a small whale while my back was turned! One GEM eating and one screeching its displeasure at being fishless :-)
EJ has just flown in with a whopper and one chick followed then another. Chick who has the fish tussled it from EJ and then she flew off.
There's been another delivery. Didn't quite see if it was EJ or Odin who brought the fish.
