The Forum Has Moved!

Hi Jean,

I am pretty sure one of them stayed on the nest tonight too. I can occasionally see some movement. Maybe it wants to be first in line for breakfast.

Good morning JudyB

5:34 am
One chick is still on the nest.


5:53 am
The chick on the nest flew off headed to the right of the screen.
He was gone less than a minute and returned at the left side of the nest --- or it was another chick arriving.


5:57 am
The chick has flown off again.
Empty nest.

6:01 am
One on the nest again. I haven't got a clue if it's the same chick coming and going steady or if it's all three flying about.

6:12 am
A second osprey came in to make a landing and was warned off by the one on the nest. I thought it was a second chick trying to land but from the reaction of the one on the nest I'm not so sure now that it was.

I am out to work.

7:26 to 7:36 One chick at 9 eating part of a fish or a small fish. It was not there at 7:12 but was at 7:26 so am not sure where the fish is from.
