    Cirrus    I so approve of your   "- practice, practice, practice -"    comment on the main blog. That is so true and misunderstood by so many!

    It's just the only way Tiger. And I have the interest and am  just motivated to do it. It' delights me.

    I am so sad about these youngsters not yet realising Daddy isn't coming and neither is mother.  Hopefully, they will go in the morning if its dry and bright.

  • Two miserable and hungry youngsters   :(

     

  • Has anyone else been thinking that maybe a trip down to Tesco is in order?  :) :) :)

    Afternoon Daisy Ray I am sure that eventually they will come to so to speak and realise they are on their own now as far as food is concerned.  Such a tough life for ones so young.

    Oh, Margo.  It is sad to witness this difficult part of their learning process, isn't it?

     

    They look forlorn; and the wet weather doesn't help the situation seeming even more mournful.

  • No, but  now that you mention it Tiger - let's get   down to Tesco  - It's an evening work shift for me - maybe I'll bring back a whacking great whole salmon. It won't be the same as freshly caught but I'm sure they won't mind.

  • This is heartbreaking seeing them still there and calling for food. I suppose they are wondering why their parent's aren't coming  :-)  Sad!

    If nothing goes right, go left! :-)

  • Cirrrus I feel sad for them too what a shock it must be for them.  I love seeing them but want to them move on now hopefully pick up fishing skills soon as they must be starving now.

     

    Got to go now and I leave you all with the two youngsters still shouting for Mum or Dad.  Will log in later hopefully and see how things are going with them.

  • Aww Bless.

    They are looking so lost and lonely.

    If nothing goes right, go left! :-)

  • As sad as it makes  us feel to  watch them call in vane for  food, this is the first time in their lives they  have  been truly hungry. A credit to EJ and Odin.  3 years ago we watched as the chicks and  EJ begged for food. 

    These chicks are   healthy and  plump 

    At some point  each will see another  Osprey  fly in the  direction of the  fish farm or other  fish stocked  body of water and  follow them. Then they will see where the fish  come from. That is the most  important skill they need  right now to SEE where the fish are.

    I wish they would go  exploring instead of  seeking comfort from  each  other  on the nest  

    It is interesting how  each is coping. Titch is "aggressively" calling for  food. Middle is  standing there  forlornly looking at  his/her feet

  • This brings back memories of last year ... willing poor Mallachie to go, after EJ left her. Mind you, she did pretty well after she left ... I'll never forget Xalbie's photos of her on her migration!!!
