Its all happening here at Glaslyn, the third chick has now fledged and took her first flight at 4.48pm on Saturday 11 July. At first glance she seemed to be a bit unsure of herself, but once she’d got the confidence to make a move there was no stopping her.
All three youngsters are now flying around the immediate vicinity of the nest, and the father still brings fish to the nest for them to feed.
Over the next few days they’ll slowly build up their confidence and wing muscles and will then develop to hunting and feeding alongside their father.
We’ll keep you updated as much as we can over the next few weeks with their activities and how they develop.
Congratulations to all involved with the project on three successful fledgings for the second successive year. We were lucky enough to be there on Saturday to see the third chick fledge. Fantastic!!
Great news!
