Hi folks,
Wasn't around for most of the day but found out I hadn't missed much. Just two hungry osps waiting all day for a meal which never came. Thanks to you all for your posts and pics yesterday.
It looks increasingly likely that EJ has begun her migration as she has not been seen since early on Saturday morning according to official sources.
Time is running out for us all for this year, I wonder how many more days before Odin leaves and then the juves will have to go if they are to survive and learn to fish on their way to fresh pastures new....sighhhhhhhhhh
Over to the early morning crew - keep us going. Night, Night.

RSPB Giving Nature a Home
Come on you two! Those fish don't catch themselves. Go on, give it a go. That's what those lovely big talons are for. :-)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Home alone for real :(
Both on nest at 5:05 and calling. It has started to rain too.
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Oh Heron :(
EDIT
And Sandra :(
Back on the nest, they are. Someone ought to tell them Dad isn't coming with any fish.
They keep having the odd chirp.
Oh dear ... now they are sitting in silence :-(

Here is my version of what it might be thinking :)
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Two pitiful, wet, hungry birds. They'll figure it out, though. They are strong and healthy, and they have good genes.
Oh, Chloe. That's brilliant!!! Wonderful!
