PATILY neither do I.
I still remain of the opinion that he is being fed somewhere by either Axel or ANOther. He is now into his forth day without fish delivery at the nest, so will have had no fluid intake, which should have had an affect on him. But he still looks bright and alert. Looking around, keeping any eye on anything passing. I don't really think I am clutching at straws, but maybe I am. Tiger said on chat that two days without food would be enough to persuade him to migrate. Food for thought?
patily said:I know I have only been watching since 2011 but I don't remember asituation where both parents have left before a chick Does anybody else remember? and if so, what happened? IC2 is so young Would his hunting instinctc !kick in soon!?
We're the same "osprey age", PATILY, and my experience re parents migrating is the same as yours. I have never heard from others about a situation like this.

Nethy and Deshar were much* older than 1C2.
I did say "nearly 3 weeks" but shouldn't have been so precise. They were both at normal migration age.
