20:22 Bart 20:22 fish by dad
21:41 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, nice to see Dad brought a fish at 20:22 and Mum feeding the kids, at 20:42:56 Kasse gets the fishtail.
21:46 Sian P Hi Gtr ,Not sure if you saw it ,Good TS at 19.34 ,Gull diving for fish and then a huge flock flying around with Dad ? possibly giving chase
21:52 Gtr Kitarr @Sian P 19:35:07 it's a Pelican chasing the gulls, maybe the same one who stole Mum's fish earlier (off cam)
22:11 Gtr Kitarr 13:56 Giliath fledged, 14:02 FF delivery I see on last years Obs board so I put one and two together
23:08 Bart 22:52:20 dad going after a heron that comes too close

02:05 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, just a few minutes left to rewind all the way to 14:08 to watch the Hat deliver FF fish
02:14 Gtr Kitarr Did you see the Pelican flyby at 19:35:07? you need to use the frame by framy trick to see it, goes very fast
02:59 Yuri Karurai I like the pelican sighting 19:35:07 Thanks for TS
03:21 Gtr Kitarr Watching the 20;22 feeding now, nice zoom in at 20:24, at 20:42:56 Kasse gets the fishtail.
03:35 Gtr Kitarr 03:35 Mum from perch to the nest
04:03 Yuri Karurai 04:01 Wilko ps, and winger practice
04:15 Karyn 4:11:55 Kasse feeling the wind.
05:12 Karyn Hey Kristy! 20:22 last night partial fish by dad. See it in chat and not on the board.
06:34 Yuri Karurai Wow BEAUTIFUL!! 6:32 sunrise
06:35 jewel lang 6.32 What is that? Something floating just under the surface of the water??
06:43 jewel lang 6.43 Gilded Mum

06:51 jewel lang 6.50 Interesting very closeup look at a tracker.....
06:53 Karyn 6:34:15 Looks like a scare crow hanging off the boat mast..To scare birds and PS's?🤣
06:54 jewel lang 6.52.52 Wilko does a warble stretch
06:55 jewel lang 6.54.52 Kasse does a warble stretch
09:34 Arlene Rao 09:32 - Wilko crushes the helicopter! Wow!
09:41 Yuri Karurai 9:31:11 Wilko floating (hovering)
09:43 Yuri Karurai 09:32 -9:33 WILKO 2 long hoverings
09:45 Yuri Karurai 9:35 Kasse hopping🥰
10:50 Yuri Karurai Mum Stick😂 10:50
10:56 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, that was some great hovering again by Wilko at around 9:32, thanks for TS Yuri
10:58 Trish E @Kristy A FYI - the 20:22 fish from Dad last night is missing from O/B.
11:01 Gtr Kitarr @Kristy A 20:22 fish by Dad, Mum feeds both kids, at 20:42:56 Kasse gets the fishtail. (for Obs board)
11:06 Gtr Kitarr @Kristy A I checked on Vid Arch 20:22 was a headless fish (for Obs)
11:15 Gtr Kitarr Think Bart only put "20:22 fish by Dad" on the board but the feeding is indeed not mentioned and highlighted on Obs
11:30 Gtr Kitarr 10:49:33 Mum lands with that stick, could be abit of blood from her right talon but don't think it's something to worry about
11:33 Gtr Kitarr don't see other red markings when Mum walks around at 10:51 so maybe it was already on the stick when she found it
11:34 Gtr Kitarr she brought that stick at 10:49
11:40 Karyn 10:49:37 You are right Gtr. It is exactly where her right talon and toes are when she lands with it. Fresh looking but she is moveing fine.
11:59 Karyn 11L54:52 Cam pulls back as mom lands on perch fresh from a bath ...LOLor a deep fish dive.
12:01 Karyn Sorry, TS above should be 11:54:52. Stuck an L in there.
12:07 Karyn 11:59:37 Wilko flies from right side of nest to the left side!
12:19 Jo Gday everyone. Looking back, my guess is that it is fresh blood because Wilko is attracted to it at 10:54. But Mum seems to be very comfortable standing on that foot. So nothing major, hopefully.
12:34 Me Jesse 12:32:43, mum with stick and hello all u beautiful peoples!
12:34 Karyn 12:32:34 Mom brings another big stick. Too late for big rails mom 🤣
12:42 Karyn SOON 11:59:37 Wilko flies from one side of the nest to the other.
13:03 Karyn Cam zooms in on Dad "not fishing" in the man cave. 12:59:45
13:15 Karyn 12L44:25 Mom left. She already had a bath so hope she is fishing.
14:36 Jo For the record, fish delivery at 14:32:38
14:37 Steve M @James good pick up. there is a shadowat 14.32.19
14:40 Karyn 14:32:38 fish Wilko mantels it tries to take it from mom.
15:04 Karyn 15:02:34 Wilko turns away and Kasse get more bites
15:13 Karyn 15:12:49 feeding over and Wilko grabs the tail.
15:24 Karyn 15:21:42 Kasse pancakes again...Mom off chasing.
15:27 Steve M Mum with fish 15:24:00 It took mum 1 minute and 45 seconds to catch that fish
15:33 Karyn 15:24:01 Mom brings in second fish of the day. another nice one. Wilko still eats but Kasse steps up too.
15:41 Karyn 15:38:42 Mom leaves nest in a hurry with the fish and returns right away with it, Whew
15:55 Paul & Ruth Boughton @ Karyn I have slowed 15.38:42 right down don’t think Mum took the fish with her. Her talons were empty. Think she had given Kasse the tail just before
15:57 Yuri Karurai I think FF, 15:22 Mum gave a warning call and Kasse pancaked. They are looking at the left of our view. Maybe came from left today?
15:58 Paul & Ruth Boughton She returns at 15.39:15 with a whole fish must be the FF ??
15:58 Yuri Karurai It's FF 15:57 Mum came with another fish
16:01 jewel lang 15.21.57 Mum alerts with the same chirping sound she made yesterday when the FF approached, Kasse Pancaked and mum flew off, and right back in with a fish. I believe FF made a floor delivery....
16:14 Yuri Karurai 16:14:02 Mum ate #5 fishtail
16:17 Yuri Karurai Wilko after lunch hovering exercise 16:15
16:23 Yuri Karurai 16:22:47 Kasse ps

16:55 Yuri Karurai 16:54:25 Mum ate the fish tail
16:57 Yuri Karurai 16:56:15 Dad landed on the nest. family meeting
16:59 Liz Was there any dramatic hovering or helicoptering today, other than what Yuri mentions at 16:15?
17:02 Steve M Hi @Liz - "14:31Fran & BazzHelicopter doing tourist runs for the Cruise Ship today…bit annoying for the birds" P&O Pacific Explorer is in PL
17:04 Steve M "Yuri Karurai09:32 -9:33 WILKO 2 long hoverings"
17:17 Liz A little for a few minutes later at 9:40, Wilko seems to be hanging out at the very edge of the nest lately.
17:48 Gtr Kitarr Still about an hour to rewind and watch some nice pictures in the golden hour this morning; 6:31 Scenery/Golden hour, 6:41 zoom in on Mum on perch, 6:47-6:52 kids close up
17:50 Gtr Kitarr 17:47 Wilko hovering, livestream skipping, Mum took off

20:22 JB Good work Dad
20:22 Bart 20:22 fish by dad
20:25 JB Hi Bart, he delivered one yesterday around this time.The young are looking great and mastering flight little by little.
20:26 Bart Hi jb
20:39 Patrick Mc Phail Woooohooo 😆 ♥
20:39 Patrick Mc Phail well done dad. 👍 at last
20:40 Patrick Mc Phail hi everyone 🖐
20:41 JB Hi Patrick
20:41 Patrick Mc Phail JB
20:42 Patrick Mc Phail BTW I agree JB, dad seems to be a late delivery bird. Not sure if he's gotten used to FF maybe? Probably he just likes late suppers.
20:43 JB Wondering who will be the first to fledge? Looks like Masse to me.
20:44 JB Kasse
20:46 Julia I thought the FF was going to stop because they were worried about a fludge?
20:48 Bart It’s a fine balance Julia and they’re not ready to fledge yet
21:22 Port Lincoln Osprey Have had two Osprey flying up and down the marina channel tonight, landing on the perch and then taking off again. We 'think' it is Calypso and mate as neither has a tracker on. One is still on the
21:23 Port Lincoln Osprey perch so it looks like it will spend the night here.
21:26 Vivian Steele How fun is that to be able to see them up close.
21:34 Fran & Bazz @Julia advice from Roy was keep going up to fledge as this is the time when they need the most food.
21:41 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, nice to see Dad brought a fish at 20:22 and Mum feeding the kids, at 20:42:56 Kasse gets the fishtail.
21:46 Jenny Druze- Jen 🩷
21:46 Sian P Hi Gtr ,Not sure if you saw it ,Good TS at 19.34 ,Gull diving for fish and then a huge flock flying around with Dad ? possibly giving chase
21:47 Gtr Kitarr Hi Sian thanks, didn't see that, will have a look now
21:52 Gtr Kitarr @Sian P 19:35:07 it's a Pelican chasing the gulls, maybe the same one who stole Mum's fish earlier (off cam)
21:54 Sian P Welcome Thanks for the pelican Id ,It"s a quick one ,Never realised they were so fast
21:56 Gtr Kitarr Not sure but maybe the first time we see a Pelican flyby here on cam? Thanks again for the TS 👍
22:01 Clean w/minttu thank u feeding babies... hope they here 4ewer
22:02 Clean w/minttu i love u guys Who feeds these and care
22:02 Bart Btw gtr. Giliath didn’t fledge because of the presence of the fish fairies, but triggered by someone else in a motorboat passing too close to the nest
22:03 Clean w/minttu hope gilliath live
22:04 Clean w/minttu so should kasseja wilko fledge soon ???
22:05 Bart This or next week
22:06 Clean w/minttu ok...hope they Dont leave:(((
22:07 Bart They will be around until February or later
22:08 Gtr Kitarr Oh I really thought it was because of the FF last year, thanks Bart
22:08 Bart I just watched it on the archive again 😊
22:11 Gtr Kitarr 13:56 Giliath fledged, 14:02 FF delivery I see on last years Obs board so I put one and two together
22:16 Patrick Mc Phail Thanks Gtr, appreciate your input.

00:38 Hoshinow Did the pelican steal Mum's fish?
01:12 Vivian Steele yes, yesterday off camera. Fran told us.
02:05 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, just a few minutes left to rewind all the way to 14:08 to watch the Hat deliver FF fish
02:07 jewel lang Good morning all.... interesting read-back on the chat today, nice to know FF will continue..... I was wondering why.
02:08 Gtr Kitarr Hi Jewel me too
02:09 jewel lang Hi Gtr... I was dismayed to see Mum lost her huge fish, but I guess it all worked out well in the end.....
02:09 Patrick Mc Phail thanks Gtr managed to see just in the nick....👍
02:10 jewel lang Also, Wilko is getting very strong re: flying... so if he gets spooked off the nest he will likely be OK. Meanwhile, Kasse is still fully pancaking
02:10 Patrick Mc Phail hi to all, Jewel, Vivian, Hoshinow, Bart, Renie, Anna....🖐
02:10 jewel lang Hello Patrick
02:10 Patrick Mc Phail 👍
02:11 Gtr Kitarr If it was a Leather Jack (like someone thought) maybe it was a good thing but I would have liked the FF to wait maybe half an hour but know that's not always possible
02:11 Gtr Kitarr Hi Patrick
02:12 jewel lang Oh! A leatherjacket.... well, no great loss there.... lol
02:12 Gtr Kitarr but I know*
02:12 Gtr Kitarr Something to chew on for the Pelican then.. 😄
02:13 jewel lang Haha, for sure.... karma!
02:14 Gtr Kitarr Did you see the Pelican flyby at 19:35:07? you need to use the frame by framy trick to see it, goes very fast
02:15 jewel lang Oh, thanks.... going there now.....
02:17 jewel lang That is a beautiful bird! I've seen glimpses of those wings here before and wondered what it was..... lovely! Thanks again for the hot tip on frame by frame, Gtr!
02:20 Gtr Kitarr credit to SteveM for the frame by frame trick and the TS was from Sian P
02:21 Gtr Kitarr Can't remember seeing a Pelican on this cam before, wasn't sure
02:22 Vivian Steele That nest is too small for mom to sleep in these days.
02:24 jewel lang Hi Vivian.... Yes, Gtr, it does take a village....🙂
02:25 Gtr Kitarr Yep, and we still learn every day
02:26 Gtr Kitarr Already december 4th, Kasse 8 weeks old today
02:26 RogueWave8901 who's in the man cave dad?
02:26 Gtr Kitarr Hi RougueWave yes
02:27 RogueWave8901 happy 8weeks kasse
02:27 RogueWave8901 hello and ty
02:57 Karyn Thanks Bart, for that clarification. I remember Giliath's fledge & didn't recall the FF's involvement. I could be wrong but think there isn't enough fear of the FF to create a fludge at this point
02:57 Karyn Good morning to all here.
02:58 Yuri Karurai Hi Karyn, hi Gtr, hi rogue hi jewel hi vivian
02:59 Yuri Karurai I like the pelican sighting 19:35:07 Thanks for TS
03:00 Karyn Going to find that pelican wing now. I remember last year FF actually gave a fish to a pelican after dropping for the nest. Think he saved one as I remember.
03:00 jewel lang Hi Yuri and Karyn
03:00 Karyn Hey Jewel Yuri
03:01 Yuri Karurai Wow lol Karyn😁
03:01 Gtr Kitarr Hi Karyn and Yuri
03:02 Karyn Yes, Yuri. I remember we made jokes about the pelican will now be usuring in the dingy!
03:02 Karyn Good morning Gtr!
03:04 Clean w/minttu Dont 4get Comet ... i miss her too
03:07 Yuri Karurai Hi Clean I miss her too
03:08 Gtr Kitarr Hi @Clean yes it's sad that Comet didn't make it
03:08 Yuri Karurai Lol Karyn, they maybe actually very strong and smart😅
03:09 Karyn Wow great view of the pelican! What a flock of gulls prior! Never saw so many flying by at once here before.
03:12 Karyn Nice that dad dropped off his semi usual late partial. They went to sleep full.
03:21 Gtr Kitarr Watching the 20;22 feeding now, nice zoom in at 20:24, at 20:42:56 Kasse gets the fishtail.
03:23 Karyn Glad Roy says for the FF to keep it up until fledge. Was concerned they would go without calories and moisture over 24hrs trying to helicopter. Trying to control wind takes energy.
03:28 Karyn So heartwarming that so many people are trying to do the best for these birds. So much good will, ideas and input.
03:29 JoSiEmPre58 good morning Port Lincoln, any news about the old barge? it was away yesterday
03:30 JoSiEmPre58 indeed Karyn
03:30 Karyn Hi Josie
03:31 Gtr Kitarr Hi Josi, they use the old barge for transport every now and then. Don't know if it's back at it's spot now
03:32 JoSiEmPre58 ah okay many thanks Gtr, we will see
03:33 Yuri Karurai Hi Jo
03:33 Karyn Gtr., is that "break" in the rope and rail from the accident? Don't recall it last year.
03:33 Gtr Kitarr Dad at the mancave now, maybe he would've spend the night at the old barge if it was there
03:34 Gtr Kitarr Yes think that's from the yacht crashing into the barge early this season
03:35 Karyn That's what I thought. Thanks
03:35 Gtr Kitarr 03:35 Mum from perch to the nest
03:45 Paul & Ruth Boughton Quick peep in . Great to see the family all on the barge. Thank you for the Obs and the ts. They are appreciated. Kitchen calls, not fish tonight.
03:48 Gtr Kitarr Hi Ruth syl
03:49 Paul & Ruth Boughton Hi and bye Gtr
04:03 Yuri Karurai 04:01 Wilko ps, and winger practice
04:15 Karyn 4:11:55 Kasse feeling the wind.
04:27 Vivian Steele I think Wilko is ready to fly. IMO he could go anytime.
04:47 Kristy A Hello Ruth, Karyn, Vivian! Yeah!!
04:58 Karyn Agree Vivian. He sure wants to. Let's see what the day brings!
05:01 Karyn Another day of strength, confidence and practice would be great. Not sure we will get that day, however.
05:05 Kristy A Hello Karyn! Yeah.
05:12 Karyn Hey Kristy! 20:22 last night partial fish by dad. See it in chat and not on the board.

06:40 differentc Hi Kristy
06:40 differentc Hi Kristy
06:40 Port Lincoln Osprey @Bart went back over last seasons footage and it was another boat that went by which caused Giliath to fledge - not the Fish Fairy. On saying that, I asked Roy Dennis at the dinner on Sunday night,
06:41 differentc Enjoy Janet
06:41 Kristy A Good morning Mum!!
06:41 Port Lincoln Osprey so all could hear, what his thoughts were on the Fish Fairy. His reply was - ' we should be doing everything we can to make sure we raise as many healthy birds from this nest'. We are in a unique
06:41 Kristy A Good to know and thank you Janet!!
06:42 Port Lincoln Osprey position and should be making the most of it. You all know I would feed every day but I leave it up to the others to work out when we should go. The birds welfare always comes first.
06:42 pardalote 🎉
06:42 jewel lang How good to get such positive feedback..... well done!
06:43 Kristy A 100% Janet!!!
06:43 jewel lang 6.43 Gilded Mum
06:44 Port Lincoln Osprey Phew - longest rant ever - can you believe the 3 nights Roy was here neither Bradley or Schutzie came home to the perch out the front. Last night I only had @Fran & Bazz, and & Ian here and we had
06:44 JB Look at those lovely fishhooks
06:44 differentc Exactly Right @PLO Thanks to You and Roy
06:44 Bart Love your ‘rants’ Janet 😊😊
06:46 Port Lincoln Osprey two Osprey coming and going and then one stayed on the perch till I took Ian to the airport at 6am. Saying that, we are not sure who it was - the thoughts are at one stage it was Dad. Enough from me
06:46 Port Lincoln Osprey off to pack my bags - Merry Christmas everyone.
06:46 differentc Thanks and You Too Janet

06:54 JB Merry Christmas Janet. Thanks for a great season at Port Lincoln.
06:54 Kristy A Karyn, I belief I remember seeing it last year around Halloween time too! lol!
06:54 jewel lang 6.52.52 Wilko does a warble stretch
06:55 jewel lang 6.54.52 Kasse does a warble stretch
06:55 Karyn LOL Kristy...Birds may think it's a fish Fairy and it could backfire on them.
06:56 Kristy A Karyn lol!! Aww those stretches.
06:57 jewel lang Yes, it must feel reallly good!
07:14 Kristy A She would like a breakfast fish Dad.
07:19 Port Lincoln Osprey Thank you @Tess Daly for your donation - really appreciate it.
07:31 Tess Daly @PLO - Janet, you're welcome. Thanks for the acknowledgement.
07:53 Patrick Mc Phail Excellent work Janet. Enjoy your break. Happy Osprey -mas! 🦅🥰
08:00 Kristy A Definitely.
08:01 Kristy A You tell those sea gulls!!
08:03 pardalote UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/KsIfY6LzFoLM6AKanYDQAg
08:11 Kristy A Hello Pardalote! Let's see what today's like.
08:19 Patrick Mc Phail An early fish would be nice, dad?
08:58 Kristy A It definitely would.
09:05 Robin B Hello all. Now that the gender reveal has happened, I see them more and more looking like the gender the are.
09:08 differentc Hi @Robin B
09:08 Robin B Hi differentc.
09:09 differentc Good Observation.
09:09 Robin B Wilko is on the lookout 👀
09:13 Kristy A Hello Robin. Yeah.
09:14 Robin B Hi 👋 Kristy
09:34 Arlene Rao 09:32 - Wilko crushes the helicopter! Wow!
09:34 Steve M 👀
09:35 Ken smith Would this be the young ones if so, it’s cool watching them trying to take flight
09:36 Merritt Placido yes
09:37 Patrick Mc Phail even better when dad brings a juicy fish 🐟
09:37 Patrick Mc Phail or maybe mum
09:41 Yuri Karurai 9:31:11 Wilko floating (hovering)
09:43 Yuri Karurai 09:32 -9:33 WILKO 2 long hoverings
09:45 Yuri Karurai 9:35 Kasse hopping🥰
09:56 Kristy A Wow.
10:38 Kristy A That's not fish Mum.
10:39 Yuri Karurai lol😅
10:44 Kristy A Come back with a whale Mum!!
10:50 Yuri Karurai Mum Stick😂 10:50
10:55 AMW I think Mum is trying to make room dividers with the stick 😂
10:56 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, that was some great hovering again by Wilko at around 9:32, thanks for TS Yuri
10:58 Trish E @Kristy A FYI - the 20:22 fish from Dad last night is missing from O/B.
11:01 Gtr Kitarr Hi Trish think it was headless when Dad brought but not sure
11:01 Gtr Kitarr @Kristy A 20:22 fish by Dad, Mum feeds both kids, at 20:42:56 Kasse gets the fishtail. (for Obs board)
11:01 Gtr Kitarr brought it*
11:06 Gtr Kitarr @Kristy A I checked on Vid Arch 20:22 was a headless fish (for Obs)
11:07 Trish E @Gtr Kitarr I didn't see it - was checking out Chat etc this morning!
11:08 Karyn Yes, Headless and still missing from board. Mentioned it several times on chat.
11:13 Gtr Kitarr Was a nice feeding by Mum for both Wilko and Kasse
11:14 Karyn Yep, A great little snack before bed. Topped off the crops.
11:15 Gtr Kitarr Think Bart only put "20:22 fish by Dad" on the board but the feeding is indeed not mentioned and highlighted on Obs
11:22 Karyn i actually woke up at that time and watch the feeding. Didn't coment then, but there was a conversation on the chat when it came in . I also mentioned it to Kristy on the chat today a couple times.
11:24 Gtr Kitarr Yes, JB, Bart and Patrick were in chat at around that time I see
11:24 Karyn What do you think that reddish spot could be on the nest rails on the right.
11:28 Karyn I always want to check Mom and Dad's talons and toes when I see something like that. I am sure It's nothing.
11:28 Gtr Kitarr not sure, could it be a branch broke off and it's the inside of the stick?
11:28 Karyn A bit too red for that IMHO.
11:29 Vivian Steele I would say fish blood? Just an idea
11:30 Gtr Kitarr 10:49:33 Mum lands with that stick, could be abit of blood from her right talon but don't think it's something to worry about
11:30 Gtr Kitarr a bit*
11:30 Karyn Thought of that, but last fish came in long ago and wouldn't still be red, I don't think.
11:31 Karyn Yes.
11:33 Gtr Kitarr don't see other red markings when Mum walks around at 10:51 so maybe it was already on the stick when she found it
11:33 Karyn Wasn't there before she landed.
11:34 Gtr Kitarr she brought that stick at 10:49
11:34 Kristy A Hello Gtr! Thank you Trish, Gtr! I'll add it to the observation board.
11:34 Gtr Kitarr Hi Kristy thanks
11:37 Trish E I just did a frame x frame, and the red is on the stick as she is landing.
11:40 Karyn 10:49:37 You are right Gtr. It is exactly where her right talon and toes are when she lands with it. Fresh looking but she is moveing fine.
11:45 Gtr Kitarr Need to get some sleep, tc all and syl 👋
11:46 Kristy A You're welcome. Oh thank you and see you later Gtr!
11:46 Yuri Karurai GN Gtr! Sleep tight!
11:46 Karyn Good night Gtr.
11:46 Kristy A Aw Mum.
11:49 Kristy A Sorry about that Karyn, I was multi-tasking and thank you!
11:53 Karyn Wondered if you didn't believe me, Kristy 🤣🤣 Seriously, I hope you take things as reminders and not bugging you.
11:54 t vulture Hi everyone - Wilko and Kasse look quite comfortable.
11:56 Karyn Hi t vulture. Yes they do. Waiting for breakfast/ lunch as usual.
11:56 differentc Hi @t vulture
11:57 t vulture Hello @differentc, Karyn, Kristy - it doesn't look as windy today either but sometimes hard to tell.
11:57 Kristy A Hello T Vulture! You're fine Karyn! It's okay. No worries. 💖
11:58 Vivian Steele They sound like they think mum has a fish or anyeay should have one.
11:58 Kristy A There's Mum, I hope she's okay. Yeah.
11:59 Karyn 11L54:52 Cam pulls back as mom lands on perch fresh from a bath ...LOLor a deep fish dive.
12:01 Jo Thanks for the Wilko helicoptering time stamps, Yuri and Arlene. 👍
12:01 Karyn Sorry, TS above should be 11:54:52. Stuck an L in there.
12:03 Yuri Karurai Hi Jo YW, hi Karyn hi T valture, hi differentc, hi vivan, hi kristy
12:04 Iso Leijona No fish today?
12:07 Karyn 11:59:37 Wilko flies from right side of nest to the left side!
12:07 Karyn Not yet Iso.
12:09 differentc Hi @Yuri Karurai
12:11 Karyn Hi Yuri, diff, and Jo.
12:11 Kristy A Hello Yuri. Oh nice!!
12:17 differentc Hi Karyn
12:19 Jo Gday everyone. Looking back, my guess is that it is fresh blood because Wilko is attracted to it at 10:54. But Mum seems to be very comfortable standing on that foot. So nothing major, hopefully.
12:22 Kristy A Hello Jo. Oh good.
12:23 Karyn That was my assessment, Jo. She moves fine and I don't see any more marks anywhere. Surprised they don't get hurt more often than they do.
12:24 Karyn That salt water is great for any minor scratch.
12:31 Karyn Ervie, a chick from 2 years ago, lost a talon early after fledging and couldn't fish for the longest time. Dad actually stuck by him and brought him fish as a young adult. for some time.
12:34 Me Jesse 12:32:43, mum with stick and hello all u beautiful peoples!
12:34 Karyn 12:32:34 Mom brings another big stick. Too late for big rails mom 🤣
12:35 Me Jesse @differentc, @Karyn, @Kristy A
12:35 Lisa Belson Hello PLO friends! 🤗
12:36 Karyn Hi Me Jesse and Lisa.
12:36 differentc @Me Jesse
12:36 Me Jesse @Yuri Karurai, @Lisa Belson, @t vulture, @Vivian Steele & any birdie I ,issed
12:36 Lisa Belson Looks like Wilco is perched on thick stick for first time or has he done it before? I had to look hard when I first viewed because I thought it was mom!
12:37 Me Jesse Wilko is close imho
12:37 differentc 🙂Hi @Lisa Belson
12:37 joseph trotter UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/G8AfY6yWGuKuhL0PlbiA2AEUCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/hcMfY5_zAbbxvwKLooCoCAUCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/G8AfY6yWGuKuhL0PlbiA2AE
12:37 Lisa Belson So cool to see him "branching" even though no branches at the nest! 🤣
12:37 Me Jesse trotter
12:38 joseph trotter @Bart can we do a fledge poll?!
12:38 Lisa Belson Hey there @Me Jesse @differentc @Karyn @joseph trotter 🙂
12:38 Me Jesse he's fledging soon
12:38 Me Jesse like this week
12:40 PandaFanSuzanne Greetings to everyone - thought I'd check in for a bit.
12:40 Lisa Belson @Me Jesse Yes, he's just about ready.
12:40 Lisa Belson Hey there @PandaFanSuzanne 🙂
12:41 Me Jesse @PandaFanSuzanne u can stay longer then a bit 😆
12:42 Lisa Belson @PandaFanSuzanne What do you think about the fledging timeline?
12:42 Karyn SOON 11:59:37 Wilko flies from one side of the nest to the other.
12:42 joseph trotter @Me Jesse indeed, its getting close. i think Kasse will be approx 5-6 days later on fledging!
12:43 Me Jesse My guess @Karyn is within 2-3 days
12:43 Karyn I think sooner Me Jesse.
12:43 Kristy A Hello Me Jesse, Panda! Yeah.
12:44 PandaFanSuzanne @Lisa Belson I can't say when they will fledge - I thought I read about 60 days here somewhere / @Me Jesse I have about an hour then it's time to sleep
12:44 Lisa Belson Hello there @Kristy A 🙂
12:44 Me Jesse Buy ya'll know I'm always wrong, so I'll say within 3 days, u might be right @Karyn
12:44 Karyn LOL Me Jesse , or you are right.
12:45 Karyn I say 1-2, ...but they need fish for energy!
12:46 Lisa Belson I can't believe they're about ready to stretch their wings! I'm so excited for them! 🥰
12:46 Me Jesse now last year they counted a fledge as one went from the nest to either the ropes or perch???
12:47 Lisa Belson When they fly off the nest it's either a fledge or fludge!
12:47 Lisa Belson I have a feeling it will be a very strong fledge
12:48 Me Jesse Well they already flew off the nest, hovering, so that might be a budhe...lol
12:48 Me Jesse *budge
12:48 Lisa Belson Yeah, hovering doesn't count!🤣
12:49 Me Jesse 😅
12:49 Karyn I have seen both done here..even the deck. Also saw a circle of the barge. The mast on the sail boat was a first or second stop,
12:50 Lisa Belson That must have been so neat to see @Karyn
12:50 joseph trotter to clarify, i was saying after Wilko fledges i think it will take Kasse an aditional 5-6 days!! after Wilko.
12:50 Me Jesse OK, so we have to guess where the fledge will be then 😄
12:50 Karyn Last year there was a debate on if the close perch counted. Any flight from the nest and back counts as a fledge.
12:50 PandaFanSuzanne @joseph trotter 5-6 days? I'd guess it will be sooner than that
12:50 Lisa Belson @Karyn Yes, agree!
12:51 Lisa Belson That was my thought @PandaFanSuzanne
12:51 Karyn Kasse will learn fast from watching Wilko and I believe will be soon after.
12:51 Me Jesse I'm a lil up in the air with that but I go with you girls
12:51 Mark Johnstone Hi
12:52 differentc Hi @Mark Johnstone
12:52 Lisa Belson Hello there @Mark Johnstone 🙂
12:52 Karyn Hi Mark Johnstone.
12:52 Me Jesse @Mark Johnstone
12:52 joseph trotter my logic is that males typically fledge 4-4 days sooner than females, additionally Kasse is 3 days younger.
12:52 Lisa Belson Is everyone hangry?
12:52 Mark Johnstone Is it warm in or here
12:53 differentc I Don't Know That
12:53 Karyn Think with Osprey it is males 1-2 days sooner. Could be wrong.
12:53 PandaFanSuzanne @Lisa Belson don't think so (but I don't like that word for some reason)
12:53 joseph trotter Fledge poll: Wilko 12/5, Kasse 12/10
12:54 PandaFanSuzanne I don't guess so will just see what happens 👀
12:54 Lisa Belson Does everyone have access to their OB because mine is not coming through?
12:54 joseph trotter @Karyn thank you!! i did not know that!
12:54 PandaFanSuzanne @Lisa Belson the Observation Board? I found it under the stream
12:54 Me Jesse 81°F°CPrecipitation: 0%Humidity: 30%Wind: 7 mph
12:55 Me Jesse OB is up and running
12:56 Kristy A Hello Mark. Yeah I can get on the web site easily.
12:56 Karyn The link is missing but the obs is up and running.
12:56 Me Jesse Wilko 12/6...Kasse 12/9
12:56 Me Jesse I think Wilko could go today though, like Karyn said
12:57 Lisa Belson Oh, okay @PandaFanSuzanne thank you! I found it! Normally it was at the top of my chat. Thanks everyone🙂
12:57 Me Jesse Or that might have been Lisa, sorry
12:58 Karyn Drop down under the video and tap ..more.. The obs board link will be there, Lisa Belson.
12:58 Lisa Belson thanks @Me Jesse I found it! 🙂
12:59 Me Jesse What did that say, "Osprey Ct" ???
13:00 Karyn I HOPE he stays today Me Jesse and gets more practice in.
13:00 joseph trotter @Me Jesse yes... it did!
13:00 Me Jesse TY @joseph trotter
13:01 joseph trotter UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/KsIfY6LzFoLM6AKanYDQAg
13:03 PandaFanSuzanne if it is 60 days it would be tomorrow for Wilko
13:03 Me Jesse Yeah Karyn, the longer he stays, the better for us, TY for the dad close-up and man cave, I really appreciate it cam op!
13:03 Karyn Cam zooms in on Dad "not fishing" in the man cave. 12:59:45
13:04 PandaFanSuzanne nice close up of Dad
13:06 Fran & Bazz I reckon Wilko will go 6th Dec and Kasse 9th
13:07 PandaFanSuzanne time will tell 🙂
13:07 Karyn I hope so Fran, but my humble guess is a tad sooner.
13:08 Lisa Belson They love keeping us guessing! 🤣
13:08 PandaFanSuzanne maybe he will surprise you and fledge tomorrow (12/4)
13:09 PandaFanSuzanne that is surprise everyone
13:11 Lisa Belson I believe chances are greater in the morning hours but only they know when they're ready to take flight
13:11 differentc True @Lisa Belson
13:12 JerryBx7 Gidday PLO
13:12 PandaFanSuzanne @Lisa Belson unless they "fludge" 🙂
13:12 differentc Hi @JerryBx7
13:12 PandaFanSuzanne Hello @JerryBx7
13:12 Lisa Belson Any ideas? @differentc 🤔
13:12 differentc GTSY @JerryBx7
13:13 Lisa Belson Yes, for sure @PandaFanSuzanne
13:13 differentc Not a Specific Date in Mind but Very Soon @Lisa Belson
13:13 JerryBx7 Hi @differentc and Hello @PandaFanSuzanne
13:14 Lisa Belson I know one thing for sure, I'll miss these babes 😢
13:14 JerryBx7 Glad I found this again and am here for the rest of the season
13:14 differentc I Will Too @Lisa Belson
13:14 Lisa Belson Hey there @JerryBx7 🤗
13:14 differentc Glad You're Here @JerryBx7
13:15 JerryBx7 Hey there Lisa
13:15 Karyn 12L44:25 Mom left. She already had a bath so hope she is fishing.
13:15 Me Jesse @JerryBx7 good to see u my friend!
13:16 Lisa Belson They look so cute right now 😍
13:16 Karyn Keep hitting the L instead of the colon! LOL
13:16 PandaFanSuzanne @Lisa Belson they may stay around a while
13:17 Karyn They will. Wilko will at least.
13:17 Lisa Belson Boy, I sure hope so! At least where we can see them
13:17 differentc Yeah
13:18 Karyn Females are the relocating travelers. She will stay awhile for food, however.
13:21 Karyn Fledging is just a milestone. Neither one is taking off any time soon.
13:21 Lisa Belson Yes, @Karyn good reminder! 🥰
13:30 Karyn I think mom will be back with a fish. Hope it is big enough for all three of the.
13:31 PandaFanSuzanne 🤞fingers crossed for mom
13:32 PandaFanSuzanne I have faith in her
13:32 Karyn They are so grown that they need a fish each now. Get with it Dad.
13:34 PandaFanSuzanne he will go soon I guess
13:34 PandaFanSuzanne maybe he is on Security duty
13:35 Kristy A Good to see ya Fran! Oh there's Dad, not fishing.
13:39 differentc Dad Left
13:39 differentc It Looked Like
13:40 Me Jesse pops is milking that mancave makeover, there he goes, unless I'm lagging, I think Wilko's going right behind him
13:41 Me Jesse Wilko's ready, clear runway 9, please
13:44 Karyn He is done with the helo's and has moved on to practice take offs. LOL
13:52 Port Lincoln Osprey Thanks @Lisa for your donation also - won't be long until these Osprey are out flying around with Bradley, Giliath, Ervie & Schutzie.
13:53 Vivian Steele And that is good.
13:55 Karyn Fran, is Schutzie a year older than Bradley? and do the parents on Thistle Island have names?
13:56 Vivian Steele Shultzie is 2 year older that Bradly. The year before Brad and gil there was one fledge, Zoe
13:57 Vivian Steele so at least 2 years
13:58 Karyn LOL Vivian, meant to say Ervie.
13:59 Vivian Steele I think Ervie was one of the 3 boys the year before Zoe.
13:59 Jo I think Schutzie and Bradley were born on the same day last year.
14:00 Vivian Steele What nest Jo?
14:00 Karyn Yes he was and that's who Schutzie hangs out with.
14:02 Vivian Steele I thought ypou meant this nest Karyn, sorry. Back on my perch on the low branch. <afraid of heights>
14:03 Vivian Steele 😵‍💫
14:04 Jo Schutzie is the chick from Thistle Island. Born last year.
14:04 Karyn Nope, but I am not always clear, Vivian. The year before Zoe was 3 males Ervie, Falky; and Bazza.
14:05 Vivian Steele Yes
14:05 Vivian Steele Before that I would have to look
14:05 Jo So far as I know, Janet still has both Schutzie and Bradley for company perched outside her house almost every night.
14:05 PandaFanSuzanne I do like the names they choose here.
14:06 Me Jesse Fran and Bazz
14:06 Karyn Thanks Jo! I wasn't sure. Was thinking maybe a year older. Good to know. Do the parents there have names or not? Think Jewel asked that a couple of days ago.
14:07 Kristy A I'm not sure.
14:07 Me Jesse Don't believe so
14:07 Me Jesse Sorry, Im meant here
14:08 Me Jesse Sometimes, I don't know what I mean 😂
14:09 Kristy A lol
14:09 Karyn All the names they pick here have meaning and that is nice. This year they gave them names before banding and I like it better. Last year only Giliath got named early & that was one Bart choose.
14:12 Karyn With the FF I suppose they are more comfortable with naming them early. Just a guess.
14:13 Karyn Got to go eat. WBBL looking for many fish.
14:14 Me Jesse Enjoy Karyn
14:20 differentc TC Karyn
14:21 PandaFanSuzanne I am a bit lost not knowing who all these former Chicks (fledglings) are from this nest. I'm not sure where they do get the names (but I like them).
14:22 PandaFanSuzanne But it is time for me to call it a night so I wish everyone a nice Night - or day depending on where everyone is
14:22 Vivian Steele Usually someone who is helping or has helped PLO or has helped the osprey .
14:23 Me Jesse @PandaFanSuzanne Nite
14:23 Vivian Steele This year they were named after 2 gentlemen who were at the banding.
14:24 Vivian Steele GN Panda
14:24 Me Jesse I guess I'm in the running then Viv, I would like my Osprey to be named, "Jethro"..😁
14:25 Vivian Steele LOL
14:26 Jo Karyn - I don't think the parents at Thistle Island (or any other local nests) have names, just our Mum & Dad here. ;-)
14:31 Fran & Bazz Helicopter doing tourist runs for the Cruise Ship today…bit annoying for the birds
14:32 Vivian Steele Fish
14:33 Port Lincoln Osprey Other chicks do have names @Jo - Schutzie is the chick from Thistle Island and he was named after the former CEO from the Department of Environment & Water (DEW) who govern a lot of what we do
14:33 Steve M Mum's not letting go...
14:34 Vivian Steele Thanks for letting us know. I was wondering what the noise was
14:34 Jo Hi Janet, yes, I know. I mentioned that Schutzie is from Thistle Island. Karyn was wondering whether the parents had names.
14:36 Jo For the record, fish delivery at 14:32:38
14:37 Steve M Thanks @Jo
14:37 Merritt Placido mum can't feed them fast enough
14:37 James By Mum. Shadows from both adults flew over seconds earlier
14:37 Vivian Steele Ad I think a whole fish
14:37 Steve M @James good pick up. there is a shadowat 14.32.19
14:37 Vivian Steele And I
14:38 Port Lincoln Osprey Sorry I misunderstood - doing too many things at once - The only parents that are named are the ones on Tumby Island. When I started monitoring this nest 9 years ago I never imagined it would grow to
14:38 Port Lincoln Osprey this.
14:38 James Hi Steve, so Mum may have got that fish from Dad
14:39 Jo Ah yes, I was forgetting the Tumby Island parents. From little things, big things grow, Janet! You're doing a fantastic job.
14:40 Vivian Steele I never got a good look at the fish to know the size.
14:40 Karyn 14:32:38 fish Wilko mantels it tries to take it from mom.
14:41 Lisa Belson You're very welcome for the donation @Port Lincoln Osprey! It is my pleasure to help with this nest and beautiful family that I adore. I appreciate all of your efforts as well! ❤
14:41 Merritt Placido looks big
14:43 Jo Definitely a big fish. Well done, Mum.
14:43 James There were 2 shadows that flew over before fish arrival
14:45 Karyn Mom and yesterday's pelican looking to steal? 😂
14:45 Vivian Steele LOL Karyn
14:45 Jo 🤣
14:46 Catherine Downey Poor Kasse she hasn’t gotten much at all 😞
14:48 Merritt Placido It's like 6 bite wilko. 1 bite kasse
14:48 Vivian Steele She has to get more hungry that scared of Wilko
14:49 Karyn Just got a better look and it is big.
14:49 Merritt Placido Still looks like a lot of fish there
14:51 Vivian Steele Big enough to feed 3?
14:51 Merritt Placido Doubt it with big chicks
14:52 Karyn Only if Wilko will allow it. A one-sided feeding so far, no question.
14:53 Vivian Steele Defiantly one sided
14:54 James Learning lesson for Kasse
14:54 Karyn Dad needs to bring in another one.
14:57 Karyn Mom isn't getting much. She may go get another.
14:57 Lisa Belson @Karyn Agreed
14:58 Vivian Steele Agree
14:58 rickieray What's on there back ?
14:58 differentc Trackers
14:58 Vivian Steele Trackers
14:59 rickieray Oh wow, for when they fledge ?
14:59 differentc Yeah
14:59 Vivian Steele Ratio looks to be about 1 to 12
14:59 Vivian Steele yes
15:00 Catherine Downey Ugh I hate how one sided this is 😩
15:00 Vivian Steele If she'd rather be hungry that fight for her food, she has a problem. She needs to get the survival instinct. JMO
15:00 Lisa Belson There we go
15:01 rickieray First time I ever seen this on any nest.
15:02 Catherine Downey Either way, I feel bad for her. She’s close but mom focuses on Wilko.
15:02 Vivian Steele She just gives up. That bothers me.
15:02 Catherine Downey Come Kasse step up to the plate! Lol
15:02 Vivian Steele She's close but she's not got her beak up there where mum can pop it in.
15:04 Karyn 15:02:34 Wilko turns away and Kasse get more bites
15:04 Fran & Bazz Just remember she was over400gms heavier than wilko on banding day
15:07 Vivian Steele Who put their foot on the scale Fran? Joking
15:08 Vivian Steele She is bigger
15:08 Fran & Bazz UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/KsIfY6LzFoLM6AKanYDQAg
15:09 Vivian Steele Wilko has a nice crop.
15:10 Karyn One more big one mom, and dad can bring his usual late afternoon partial.
15:10 Vivian Steele Mum and Kasse need to eat up before Wilko has a crop drop.
15:12 James Feedings here have always been pretty equal. Kasse sees how big fish is and is willing to wait. Mum or Dad's feet haven't been in jeopardy yet, lol, that may happen soon
15:12 Vivian Steele Yes there is always that chance James
15:13 Vivian Steele Mum need to get one an fill herself up before she brings it home.
15:13 Catherine Downey Of course Wilko gets the tail
15:13 James Once they both fledge one may get more defensive about being on the nest
15:13 Karyn 15:12:49 feeding over and Wilko grabs the tail.
15:14 Catherine Downey Hopefully mum or dad can bring more soon
15:17 Karyn Feeding lasted 40 mim.
15:20 Karyn Mom will go back out, I think. She just got a few bites.
15:24 Karyn 15:21:42 Kasse pancakes again...Mom off chasing.
15:24 Catherine Downey Another fish! Yay! Way to go mum!
15:25 Vivian Steele YAH
15:25 Vivian Steele Kasse has the position if she holds it
15:26 Catherine Downey That’s true, hold strong Kasse!
15:27 Merritt Placido glad to see another fish
15:27 Steve M Mum with fish 15:24:00 It took mum 1 minute and 45 seconds to catch that fish
15:27 Vivian Steele Kasse was too
15:28 Vivian Steele Very good
15:28 Vivian Steele I wonder where dad is.
15:28 Vivian Steele I'm guessing that he fishes when he gets hungry
15:29 Kristy A Excellent job Mum! I love you girl!
15:30 Kristy A Love her so much.
15:33 RogueWave8901 dang 1 min and 45 seconds that's it that's really impressive
15:33 Karyn 15:24:01 Mom brings in second fish of the day. another nice one. Wilko still eats but Kasse steps up too.
15:34 Vivian Steele Now get one for you Mum
15:34 Vivian Steele LOL shes a machine now
15:34 Karyn Goes to show the difference between a good fishing day and a bad one.
15:34 Merritt Placido lol she did
15:35 Merritt Placido yes for sure
15:35 Merritt Placido wow this is great
15:35 RogueWave8901 very impressive fisherwoman
15:36 Karyn Steve M, said 1min, 45 sec.
15:36 Vivian Steele OOPS Steve, how long did that take for that fish?
15:36 Vivian Steele She must have found a good fishing hole.
15:37 Merritt Placido perfect
15:37 Vivian Steele I meant this last one. I don't think she was gone a minute.
15:39 Vivian Steele Another whole fish
15:40 Merritt Placido wow you go mum
15:40 RogueWave8901 UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/DfgfY9LaNdmMq7IPuI2AaA
15:41 Vivian Steele Kasse got the last fish tail
15:41 JoSiEmPre58 wow whats going.did the FF delivered to Deck? Joke,mum is an amazing fisher
15:41 Vivian Steele I think
15:41 Judy Honey hmmm....something fishy. Fish are not floppy.
15:41 Karyn 15:38:42 Mom leaves nest in a hurry with the fish and returns right away with it, Whew
15:41 RogueWave8901 I was thinking the same
15:42 Vivian Steele FF never would leave them on the deck I don't think. But, you're they aren't flopping.
15:42 Vivian Steele The gulls got one they left there last year,but maybe this close to fledge.
15:43 Karyn Something is harassing her overhead.
15:43 Me Jesse omg, I fell asll asleep and just woke up
15:43 Vivian Steele Who knows? PLO only IMO
15:43 Me Jesse Prolly gulls Karyn
15:44 Karyn I was afraid she would lose this one when she went chasing.
15:44 Judy Honey Fish appear to be the same type and similar size.
15:45 JoSiEmPre58 when we see a red one, it is clear
15:46 Karyn Don't think FF. Gulls would have taken them. She was gone awhile to get the first one.
15:46 Merritt Placido we will take all the fish they can eat lol.
15:46 Karyn First one looked larger and tougher too me.
15:47 Merritt Placido yeah took her 40 mins to feed it
15:47 Vivian Steele I agree with the gulls Karyn
15:48 Vivian Steele Funny how Kasse just flops forward. My old dog does that to lay down.
15:48 Me Jesse it's funny when they pancake
15:49 Merritt Placido hehe another one
15:49 Karyn Back from chasing again and hung on to her fish.
15:49 Jo It's the "all you can eat" buffet!
15:50 Karyn Kasse getting a good share of this one.
15:50 Merritt Placido she taught kasse well. if I'm gone you lay low
15:50 Vivian Steele Yes
15:51 Me Jesse haha @Merritt Placido
15:51 Judy Honey Is this #5?
15:51 Me Jesse Mom says, "what FF"
15:51 JoSiEmPre58 yes Jo, It's just that mom always has to get up and the children stay seated
15:52 Karyn #2 Judy Honey. Mom caught both.
15:52 Merritt Placido so cute
15:52 Merritt Placido think this is #3
15:53 Judy Honey ok. Thanks, Karyn.
15:53 Vivian Steele More than 2 Karyn
15:53 Vivian Steele This is 3 or 4
15:53 Karyn I missed one! Maybe it is the FF LOL
15:54 Kristy A Maybe, yeah. lol
15:55 Merritt Placido I don't know. Never seen anyone and kids reacting to something.
15:55 Paul & Ruth Boughton @ Karyn I have slowed 15.38:42 right down don’t think Mum took the fish with her. Her talons were empty. Think she had given Kasse the tail just before
15:55 Merritt Placido yeah so this is #4
15:56 Karyn Looked like she returned with 1/2 a fish. But then I missed an entire fish it seems. LOL.
15:56 Merritt Placido But either way they were hungry
15:57 Yuri Karurai I think FF, 15:22 Mum gave a warning call and Kasse pancaked. They are looking at the left of our view. Maybe came from left today?
15:57 Jo If it is the FF, the new delivery technique has worked. Kids have not been spooked into fledging. Dad must be working overtime guarding a supply of fish away from the nest! 😬
15:57 differentc Look Another One
15:57 Kristy A Oh!
15:58 Paul & Ruth Boughton She returns at 15.39:15 with a whole fish must be the FF ??
15:58 Yuri Karurai It's FF 15:57 Mum came with another fish
15:58 Karyn If it was FF throwing fish on the barge, there are too many gulls for them to still be there, I would think.
15:58 Yuri Karurai I like this way!
15:59 Vivian Steele If it's the FF, I wonder where they put the fish away from the gulls. And I don't believe dad is guarding them.
15:59 Merritt Placido 1 big feeding a day is perfect
15:59 JoSiEmPre58 could be long TS list
16:00 RogueWave8901 I like this we don't do this in the states we should though
16:00 Karyn Let's just ask! Fran & Bazz are these supplemental or Mom found a school?
16:00 Merritt Placido Since it is 4 pm early supper
16:01 jewel lang 15.21.57 Mum alerts with the same chirping sound she made yesterday when the FF approached, Kasse Pancaked and mum flew off, and right back in with a fish. I believe FF made a floor delivery....
16:01 Kristy A Last year, the supplemental fish, from the Fish Fairy, stayed on the barge deck.
16:01 Vivian Steele I agree RogueWaves, but it would be next to impossible at most nests. I wish they would stock more for the birds.
16:02 Kristy A Yeah guessing so Jewel.
16:02 Karyn Won't they tell us?
16:02 Vivian Steele I am in the minority but I've been wrong before.
16:02 jewel lang And the whole fish was not moving
16:02 differentc Yeah
16:03 Yuri Karurai The kids are full
16:03 Paul & Ruth Boughton Good to know they have eaten I’m going back to sleep 👋👋
16:03 RogueWave8901 this is true Vivian
16:04 Jo I'm just amazed that gulls haven't pinched them from the deck. Unless we've got Bazz out of view fishing and passing each one up!🤣
16:04 RogueWave8901 getting big crops I see
16:04 Merritt Placido aww so cute mum offering more
16:04 Karyn I am waiting for a FF answer then I'm off too.
16:04 Vivian Steele Bedtime. An early day tomorrow. Have a good night.
16:04 Kristy A See ya around Ruth, Vivian.
16:04 Merritt Placido gnite Vivian
16:04 differentc TC Ruth GN
16:04 Yuri Karurai GN Vivian, GN Ruth
16:05 Merritt Placido gn ruth
16:05 Karyn Jo that may be the answer. Bazz throwing one at a time.
16:05 Jo I can just picture it, Karyn!
16:06 Yuri Karurai Well, that still scare Mum I think.
16:06 Karyn Me too after all the "fludge" talk yesterday.
16:07 Jo Dead fish in the water?
16:07 Yuri Karurai Maybe Roy said you can leave the fish on the barge.😉
16:08 Karyn I think we just need the answer from them, so we don't drive ourselves crazy.
16:08 differentc Don't Think that was Dad
16:08 Karyn Me either diff.
16:08 RogueWave8901 i agree karyn
16:09 Yuri Karurai Wilko is watching around, maybe the boat is still there?
16:10 Jo Definitely FF, imo, but I'm curious to know how they've done the delivery as leaving fish on the deck didn't work last year.
16:10 differentc I Think it was FF Also
16:12 Kristy A From Fran-- "Oh quite possibly!! He has been down fixing the dinghy that broke down in them yesterday so he probably did go out. I have had someone here so haven’t been watching."
16:12 Karyn Don't care just so they ate.
16:12 Yuri Karurai Lol. Thanks Kristy!
16:13 Kristy A She's busy with company right now. So I needed to let you guys know. You're welcome.
16:13 differentc TY Kristy
16:13 Jo Tks Kristy! We'll have to wait for Bazz then to reveal his new technique.
16:13 Merritt Placido ty
16:14 Karyn Thanks Kristy and Fran AND Fish Fairy.
16:14 Kristy A You're welcome everyone!! My pleasure! 💖
16:14 Kristy A Thank you Bazz Aka The Hat!!
16:14 Yuri Karurai 16:14:02 Mum ate #5 fishtail
16:14 differentc TY FF
16:15 Kristy A You coming back with another Mum?
16:15 Yuri Karurai off she goes
16:17 Yuri Karurai Wilko after lunch hovering exercise 16:15
16:20 Yuri Karurai Guess the rest of FF were taken by gulls😄
16:20 Kristy A *Shrugs*
16:21 Merritt Placido It's ok. kids well fed
16:23 Yuri Karurai 16:22:47 Kasse ps
16:23 differentc True Merritt
16:24 Merritt Placido Yeah. Mum got some too. Not sure about dad
16:24 Yuri Karurai What is this machine humming? Not flies I think.
16:26 Fran & Bazz Fran here yes evidently Bazz went out and just put them on the deck rather than the nest.
16:26 Kristy A Hello Fran! Aah okay!
16:26 Yuri Karurai I love it, thank you Fran & Bazz1
16:26 Kristy A May we see the deck? Are there any fish on the deck?
16:27 Fran & Bazz He figured Mum would pick them up if she wanted them and Wilko wouldn’t freak out
16:27 Jo It worked!
16:27 Kristy A Yeah, great idea! Thank you Bazz!!
16:27 Yuri Karurai It worked perfectly!
16:27 differentc TY Fran
16:28 Yuri Karurai Is that fish??😃
16:28 Fran & Bazz Nope all gone
16:29 Kristy A *Thank you* Fran! I appreciate the camera work.
16:29 Fran & Bazz Humming is the camera I think. There is also a helicopter flying around
16:29 Kristy A Good to know.
16:30 Yuri Karurai Thanks Fran!
16:31 CRAZY OSPREY LADY all is peaceful
16:32 differentc Yeah
16:35 Kristy A Thank you for focusing on the nest.
16:37 Fran & Bazz I was visiting the second two story house I am showing you at the moment today and they told me they have had 2-3 Osprey sitting on their roof and the neighbours roof for the past week or so on dusk
16:38 Fran & Bazz They say the birds are diving for fish in the channel. Probably Mum, Dad and possibly Bradley
16:38 Kristy A Aww that's so cool Fran! *Nice*!! *Thank you*!
16:38 Jo Brilliant, Fran.
16:39 CRAZY OSPREY LADY that's wonderful
16:39 Fran & Bazz Also second house in on this side of the channel
16:39 Kristy A I love that. That's cool Fran.
16:39 pardalote fish!
16:39 Kristy A Oh good boy Dad!
16:40 Jo Go Dad!
16:40 Yuri Karurai Dad!!
16:40 Fran & Bazz Ha just in time for a fish from Dad
16:40 pardalote :D
16:40 Kristy A Yeah Fran! lol!!!
16:40 jewel lang 16.39 Dad in with a nice fish
16:41 pardalote Wilko watches dad fly off "wish I could do that" meanwhile, Kasse pancakes
16:41 Jo Kasse has mastered the pancake to perfection! 😄
16:41 differentc Nice Dad
16:41 pardalote haha @Jo she does!
16:41 Yuri Karurai Kasse loves pancake position😄
16:41 differentc UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/KsIfY6LzFoLM6AKanYDQAgJo
16:41 Kristy A lol
16:41 CRAZY OSPREY LADY they will all have full bellies
16:43 Yuri Karurai Thank you @Fran & Bazz , good to know that Wilko and Kasse can learn and dive from the second house!
16:45 Yuri Karurai What is afraid, Kasse?
16:45 Jo Kasse is clearly a sensitive soul. The slightest disturbance (helicopter still?) and down she goes.
16:45 Kristy A It's okay Kasse.
16:45 Kristy A There we go.
16:46 Yuri Karurai Good girl Kasse!
16:55 Yuri Karurai 16:54:25 Mum ate the fish tail
16:57 Liz Hi 👋
16:57 Yuri Karurai 16:56:15 Dad landed on the nest. family meeting
16:57 Yuri Karurai Hi Liz
16:58 Merritt Placido aww family chat
16:59 Yuri Karurai Dad inspects the nest
16:59 Liz Was there any dramatic hovering or helicoptering today, other than what Yuri mentions at 16:15?
16:59 Fran & Bazz Dad checking for left overs
17:01 Kristy A Ah yup.
17:02 Liz Ok thanks, maybe Gtr will give a timestamp later, if I'm lucky ☺
17:02 Steve M Hi @Liz - "14:31Fran & BazzHelicopter doing tourist runs for the Cruise Ship today…bit annoying for the birds" P&O Pacific Explorer is in PL
17:03 Liz Oh ha, I was talking about the chicks helicoptering 😆
17:03 Steve M oh, haha🤣
17:04 Steve M "Yuri Karurai09:32 -9:33 WILKO 2 long hoverings"
17:06 Yuri Karurai Thanks Steve, I couldn't find my post lol
17:06 Kristy A Aww. lol
17:10 Liz Oh yes, Wilko's getting a lot of practice!!
17:10 Liz I keep forgetting I can take a look at the chat on the Obs board sorry Steve, thank you tho!!!
17:12 Liz And thanks Yuri! Yes the chat here (on my phone app) only goes back so far, I keep forgetting I can look at the Obs board.
17:14 Me Jesse Bradley
17:17 Liz A little for a few minutes later at 9:40, Wilko seems to be hanging out at the very edge of the nest lately.
17:18 Liz *A little more
17:18 Steve M He's turning into a little daredevil🦅
17:19 Steve M The Obs board, Kristy's updates , Gtr's summaries and everybody's contributions and timestamps means we don't miss a thing. Such a lovely community
17:20 Jo Totally agree, Steve.
17:21 Steve M Look at those 2 fat crops!
17:21 Yuri Karurai Ditto. Totally agree, so thankful!
17:21 Jo Indeed, Steve. There's Buckley's chance of any more helicoptering for a while, I reckon! 🤣
17:21 Yuri Karurai like a volley ball in the chest
17:21 Yuri Karurai lol Jo
17:22 Steve M 🤣Jo!
17:22 Kristy A lol!
17:24 Me Jesse Yes, when they start to look like their ready to fledge, that's when they fledge
17:25 Me Jesse Wow, their eatig better then me and that's saying something
17:31 Kristy A lol
17:31 Gtr Kitarr Hi all, nice to see the kids with full crops
17:32 Kristy A Hello Gtr! Happy to see ya!
17:34 Gtr Kitarr Hi Kristy happy to see you too
17:34 Trish E @Kristy A just checking the O/B chat after coming home: heaps of fish to add!!
17:35 Kristy A Yeah it's a work-in-progress Trish!!! Hello Trish!
17:36 Gtr Kitarr Same here, just woke up so no summary yet, coffee first😉
17:37 Kristy A Enjoy that Gtr! lol!
17:38 Gtr Kitarr
17:45 Trish E I reckon that Mum is looking forward to having a big fish on the ropes soon - all to herself!
17:48 Gtr Kitarr Still about an hour to rewind and watch some nice pictures in the golden hour this morning; 6:31 Scenery/Golden hour, 6:41 zoom in on Mum on perch, 6:47-6:52 kids close up
17:49 Gtr Kitarr Haha it was Mum that took off,
17:49 Anna Amatnieks Ha ha yeah I noticed that!
17:49 Kristy A D'oh Gtr! I'm on rewind working on summaries and you took me off of that to go live!! lol
17:50 Gtr Kitarr 17:47 Wilko hovering, livestream skipping, Mum took off
17:51 Gtr Kitarr 17:47:59 Livestream skiping, thought for a moment that Wilko was gone.. Sorry 😁
17:51 Gtr Kitarr skipping*
17:52 Kristy A False alarm Fran/Bart, sorry. lol
17:52 Anna Amatnieks I thought the same too Gtr.
17:53 Gtr Kitarr Good to give the nest a bit more headroom so we can see how high Wilko gets
17:54 Gtr Kitarr 17:51 Wilko on the edge of the nest
18:04 Anna Amatnieks Bloody Gulls!
18:06 pardalote Yell at them kids! Yell at those gulls! 😍
18:08 Kristy A lol
18:16 Liz Hi Gtr! I noticed that too that Wilko seems to be hanging out at the edge. Is that usually how it goes before they take off?
18:16 Liz This is all a first for me...
18:19 Liz His focus seems to be more outside than nest the last day or so.
18:19 Liz *outside the nest
18:20 Gtr Kitarr Hi Liz don't think it's a sign before fledge just that he gets more comfy moving and looking around
18:23 Liz Fledge means leave the nest for good?
18:23 Gtr Kitarr Think I've read the term is "Flanging" when young raptors are balancing/wingflapping on the edge of the nest but haven't heard it much
18:23 Gtr Kitarr Fledge is the first flight
18:25 Gtr Kitarr first time they fly away from the nest is Fledge but then they stay around for a long time (here)
18:26 Liz Ok I'm guessing that's what you meant that's going to happen around December 9th and 12th...
18:27 yamyow What's happened to the link for the OBS board
18:28 Gtr Kitarr They will still be sleeping on the nest and the nest will remain the place for fish deliveries. the kids here will probably leave the barge to find their own place in january or february
18:29 Gtr Kitarr Looks like Wilko is ready to fledge any day now, Kasse will prably wait and practice a bit longer
18:30 Liz Ok, thanks. Yes he does look like he's wanting to fly out the way he's been standing there like that!
18:30 Gtr Kitarr @yamyow link to Obs is also in the description under the cam, guess Bart needs to put the link back at the top of chat
18:31 Gtr Kitarr Kasse 8 weeks old today, Wilko 59 days old
18:32 yamyow yes thanks it's was easier to spot at the top of chat
18:33 Gtr Kitarr I have the Obs board bookmarked so I can always find it
18:35 yamyow good idea
18:37 Gtr Kitarr 👍
18:38 Bart Hi everyone. I’ll put it back later today
18:40 Patrick Mc Phail hello everyone 🖐
18:40 Gtr Kitarr Hi Bart gm thanks. Hi patrick
18:40 Patrick Mc Phail was there any deliveries today? only reason I ask is because no obs board
18:41 Patrick Mc Phail thanks
18:41 Trish E @Gtr Kitarr I have moved the livestream from Chrome to Firefox (it started dropping out on banding day -grrr!), but - the Obs Board on F/fox won't load it, due to no secure connection...
18:41 Jo Yes, Patrick. Kristy is updating it now.
18:41 Patrick Mc Phail oh thanks
18:41 Patrick Mc Phail Jo
18:42 Jo A fish bonanza
18:42 Patrick Mc Phail I'm guessing FF again?
18:42 Jo Yep. From Bazz. But placed on the deck, not the nest, so it caused no end of confusion! ;-)
18:43 Jo Also fish from Dad.
18:43 yamyow thanks
18:43 Gtr Kitarr Some TS: Fish at 14:32(Mum) 15:22(FF delivery on deck, off cam) 16:39(Dad) At 6:41 Golden hour, Mum on perch, 6:47-6:52 kids close up. 9:31-9:33 Wilko hovering.
18:43 Patrick Mc Phail Understood, I think know why
18:43 Gtr Kitarr 14:32 Mum w fish, Wiko tries to grab it, Mum wants to feed. 15:22 FF fish, on deck, off cam. 15:24, 15:34, 15:39 & 15:48 Mum brings FF fish to the nest.
18:43 Trish E "Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."
18:43 Gtr Kitarr 16:27 cam pan to where FF fish were left on deck. 16:39 fish by Dad. 17:47 Wilko hovering, livestream skipping, Mum took off
18:44 Gtr Kitarr Hi Trish that's weird
18:44 Patrick Mc Phail Huge thanks Jo and Gtr
18:44 Jo You're a star, Gtr.
18:45 Gtr Kitarr Think I missed some moments but gotta run, bbl 👋
18:46 Liz Bye Gtr, thx again!
18:48 Patrick Mc Phail syl Gtr 👋 you are indeed a star 🌟 🤩
18:48 Patrick Mc Phail and Jo
18:54 Jo Too kind, Patrick. 🙂
18:59 Jo Another fish! 18:59
19:00 Jo Delivered by Dad. Partial.
19:00 Steve M Nice one Dad! Where are they gonna fit it?
19:01 Steve M ( i've missed Mum's fish dances...)
19:20 Jo 19:18 Show-off, Wilko (standing on one foot)
19:21 Steve M lol
19:21 Steve M 19:14:20 Mum eats fishtail
19:23 JoSiEmPre58 Kasse also sits sweetly at the time 19:18
19:43 Tiger Mozone Good evening everyone. Has there been any fledges today?
19:52 JB Hi Tiger, no fledges, plenty of decent hicopter moments and plenty of fish.
