Oh, joy!!!

After 5 weeks of not being able to properly see First Nest, I got to see how big the chick had grown.

I think there may be a second chick in the nest, but the wind was gusting so hard that I couldn’t decide.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get a better look.

The chick is now about 8 weeks old – another 4 weeks or so and it should be flying.

It has been so frustrating for all of us that the flooding has kept us waiting to see what the chicks are doing.

Here’s to sunshine and a lowered lake!!!

The chick is working on wing stretches.

A much bigger stretch!

Surveying the lake – hoping to see a parent with a fish.

Got to check the back door too!
