The Osplets have fledged!

[boxtops]

Both osprey chicks (chicks?) are back in the nest now - the older being a veteran of two days' flying, and the younger taking it's maiden flight this morning. Well done Osprey family! It's still worth watching, the birds come back to the nest to rest and feed. Lady is looking a bit worn out but hardly surprising, her offspring are as big as her. If it interests do read the blog from over the weekend, there is a really good description of the timetable the wardens anticipate from now until they migrate in a few weeks' time. We are waiting to see if Lady goes with them - if she is fit enough. An incredible inspirational few weeks' work has just taken place in that nest....http://www.thewebbroadcastingcorporat

thanks gen, help appreciated, I hadn't spotted the break - and yep ttfn, little chicks they sure are not! (makes you wonder when you see the duff egg in the nest, how those huge youngsters came out of those tiny eggs!)
