Hi, it was a day of misery for the two chicks. With EJ gone and it looks like Odin has gone too, there were no deliveries of fish yesterday.
Nature is playing its part. It is time the two juves went fishing for themselves or else start on their migratory journey. Odin has obviously felt it is time to kick start these two into foraging for themselves. If confirmed he is gone by the LG team it will be about the same time as last year.
The weather sounds foul at LG at the moment so hope they are sheltering safely somewhere.
Only time and a new day will tell us what is happening.
Over to the early morning team and thanks to all of you in California, Australia, Finland, and elsewhere for keeping us updated.

Hi Lynette - Happy Anniversary! 42 years is indeed a long time, and something to be celebrated these days. Hope you enjoy yourselves in some way to celebrate it.
Does anybody know if it's official that Odin has actually departed?
Don't think its been announced officially yet, Sandy. Don't even know when he was 'officially' last seen really..... (find it frustrating this year with one camera off duty)
Two juves mantling madly. Lots of noise.
and then there was silence.

And now it's a sit-in!
Lynette Many congratulations - 42 years is quite a while! If OH and I make it to the beginning of October, we'll be 41 years.
Thanks to all those who are pointing out that migrating ospreys have obstacles like the Sahara to cope with. I'm sure those two are well set up for the trials ahead and that they need to be really hungry to encourage them to try fishing.
Here's an unusual sight!
Now one is taking its ease whilst the other one watches the world go by. Somebody must have a witty caption for it.By the way, just having a nice meal at home and sharing it with our daughter.
Titch has just flown the nest, followed fairly quickly (and with a quack) by quackers. ENS
