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.

It has to be Quackers, I can hear. He has just given his duck impression.
Morning all,
Thanks for all the early morning reporting and pics. Also interesting discussion about eldest. Looks pretty wet there this morning so not ideal for migrating anywhere. Yesterday there were more sightings of osprey around the country than any other day this year including the spring migration. I did not notice any juveniles however.
Alan - do you think, then, that Youngest is just being sensible and sheltering somewhere ? and not having started his migration?
Brenda H I take it that Quackers is chick #2?
Tiger Signature
I dont think they will start migrating in this weather.

Yes, Tiger. He / She has a distinctive duck impression at times.
Thanks Alan. Yes, Tiger, 'Quackers' is Middle youngster. Do I hear the dulcet tones of Youngest joining his sister's ???
I am off now to do some stone cleaning, that I started yesterday.
