Female osprey surprise:
Val Gall has just tweeted to confirm that both Chicks fledged from her nest
Many thanks to Vespa Crabro for updating my news! I have been on holiday for last 21/2 weeks. Yesterday my 1st stop was nest but only saw 1 large chick probably a female. Today however there were 2 & what a display they gave! Both are well grown & flying well. XL was top of her favourite tree watching them.
I have been without my phone for whole time I have been away & not been able to access internet so no updates & now just catching up. My phone fell out of top pocket into dogs water bowl the day before I went away & not sure if it can be repaired.
One Life - Live It!!

Sorry Rachel I have been on holiday since 14th July. Unfortunately the chicks were not ringed on that Tuesday afternoon & I was most disappointed! I am waiting to hear if they were ringed after I left but I do not think so. However I have seen both chicks today & they looked wonderful. My pictures of them however were not!! Hope to be able to post pics soon though
Good to have you back, Val - hope you had a good holiday. Great news about your pair fledging successfully, though it would be a shame if they weren't ringed.
