Just a small selection of the images in the first June gallery.  There will be more to follow.

Mum with food

Knocking Dad off his perch – food is required I think

I still need feeding!

After creating a reasonable amount of mayhem our young lad settled briefly for a little rest!

A little rest!

Over the past few days and evenings we have seen some spectacular flying by our juveniles and parents.

In these 2 images below you can see an adult tempting one of the girls to come and get some food.  She takes the bait and tries her luck but fails this time.

Female tempting juvenile female to fly after food

The juvenile 65 tries to take the food from her mum

The following images show our three juveniles playing in the sky and then one tries to catch food dropped by the male.  This time was not successful but later in the evening when the light was very poor this youngster succeeded in catching dropped food!

The male 62 at the top and female juveniles 65 and 63 below.

Missed this time but not later

Lots of flying late evening but this was my favourite shot!

Problems with my nose!

Pictures of us on our first day learning to fly. What a day it was.

Not quite

Back to the nest

Weeeeeeeeeee!!!

I can fly

Nearly

When we finally get back home I will post some flying pictures …..thanks for you patience,

No65 one of the girls took her first flight just after 4PM today and flew to the larder turret. One to go ! Picture was 65 the girl who flew having a snack earlier in the day.

Snack before I fly!

Its official the first to fly was a boy.

It’s a boy! (62)

We think the young boy no 62 fledged at 9.50am this morning I will confirm this when I get a picture of the ring no. He flew round the spire landed on the green roof and slid down,to his current position he was not hurt, but is still sitting there.

I can fly ….just!
