All 3 juveniles still here. 497 and 498 hanging out together this evening on the perch.
499 on the nest shouting for fish.
They are 94, 97 and 98 days old today.
Saturday, 3rd September
07.15 a wet morning, 497 was sitting on the perch, 499 flew onto the nest. Aran incoming with a fish. 499 hadn’t eaten yesterday.
497 flew down to join 499
The siblings get into position, 499 to the right
Aran arrives with a fish
499 is in like a bullet, 497 tried but it was always going to be 499’s fish!Aran has done his job then flies off. A few minutes later, 498 flies in.
That look at 499 from 498!
All 3 chicks had a share of the fish then Mrs G landed on the nest. 498 was still eating.
She had her eyes on the fish and took it at 09.07. Looked like a lot of skin and a wee fleshy tail end left.
22.35 An Osprey flew onto the perch. The cam zoomed in to see who it was and it was 497.
It’s getting quite windy here now. 23.35

Aran and chick on the nest
Good morning all. 497 stayed overnight on the perch until 06.01 this morning. The weather has been a bit inclement to say the least!
Looking at the Glaslyn chat this morning, the moderator said that Mrs G visited the nest at 06.24 to take away trout remains. She was there less than a minute.
This is Mrs G and a juvenile this morning. Again, the moderator is pretty sure it’s 499.
Some interesting facts from Heather, the Glaslyn chat moderator this morning. 8:21 AM Heather Corfield So now both 497 and 498 have joined the Glaslyn 100 club. In fact out of the 41 chicks that have migrated from Glaslyn so far, only ten have migrated before reaching 100 days. 8:23 AM Heather Corfield Only one has not made it to 90 days and not surprising that W0 didn't as he hatched on 27th June 2015. 8:23 AM Heather Corfield He was last seen at 89 days old.
All of the family together on the nest around 18.10 tonight. The parents on either side with the juveniles fighting over a fish Aran has just delivered.
