Hummingbird cam - Phoebe

Great photos and updates, so close to fledging, I wonder if today will be the day?

Lai

We're still here .....

Lai

Thanks for continuing to watch last night after I went off WS and the pics are brilliant

Thank you for checking them today Lai, I have just had a look and they are both still there battling to stay in the nest. I will have another check on them later.

I think they are just too comfy there to fledge

Lai

Lai there has been so much wing flapping going on in the last few minutes I am sure one if not both will fledge sometime this evening.
littlewid-x-

We can't miss it ..........

Lai

Yes, no, yes, no, yes ........................ no I really thought this was it



Lai

Phoebe has just come in and fed them both, sorry about the small pic but I have the cam minimized on screen so I can keep watching

I need to get my tea in a minute so they had better not fledge whilst I am cooking Just seen you post Lai and that looked very close, it must have happened after Phoebe fed them.

I am here for a bit and then ditto need to go and cook. I bet they fledge while we're busy ...

Lai

I bet they do as well Lai. I am starving but I don't want to miss them but they could take hours yet and by then I would have fainted and missed it anyway

Me too - just eating Pringles to keep me going, unhealthy I know but I don't want to move.

Loved the photo of Phoebe feeding them - sorry forgot to say that earlier!

Lai

It was great to see her pop in Lai, she has not been visiting them as much lately and I think that is the ploy to get them to fledge, even though she will look after them for a bit longer when they do.

I have been in Brighton all day today clothes shopping, I did get lunch whilst out but that seems ages ago now.......and I did a mega shop so now need to re-fuel but these two are keeping my tummy rumbling........and I don't have any Pringles

littlewid-x-

Shopping is exhausting so you need food, and quickly .......

I think you're right about Phoebe so that must be a sign that they should fledge, preferably right now this very second, i've got to go........................

Catch you later.

Lai

Well it's 7.16pm and they are both still there and I too need to go get food now before I drop.
Back to check on them later

20.22pm and still there

Lai

Thanks Lai, I watched them whilst cooking until 7.50 and they flapped but didn't go, it's now 21.09 and still there.

Well I think I am going to have to sign off guys. On the chat some of the guys reckon Flash will Fledge about 3pm on Sunday and Pearl (or Opal as she is called on the chat) will Fledge on Monday and I must admit Flash is the more lively one, Pearl seems more content to just lie in the nest.....and almost push Flash out at times, there have been a few hairy moments when whilst Flash was flapping Pearl nearly knocked him out. Flash has just had another mammouth flap so if I sign off and we miss a Fledge, sorry guy's, but hopefully they will both be there tomorrow.

22-00pm and still staying out. They were doing all that wing flapping all last night, especialy Flash, he looked as though he was going quite a few times, had me on the edge of my seat.


WS

Oh my, just caught Flash virtually rigt out of the nest.

littlewid-x-

Flash is out of the nest.

littlewid-x-

That must have been quick looked as soon as you posted, and he's back in
WS

He was quick WS, he was back as soon as i checked again, he has been very fidgety this evening and I have been watching them for hours this evening.
littlewid-x-

He's clearly getting very close to going

WS

I think he is WS and I reckon I am going to miss him cos I need sleep Please Keep an eye on them for us whilst your on

Phoebe is back feeding them.
