Yesterday's fledger returned safely to the nest box early (very early 
this morning with Princess and Smiley not far behind her.
Bccs & Sparkster ...
Where exactly did Chapelle come back to? Was it out of camera range? It's useful to know where individual birds return to, it may be part of their personal pattern of preferences which makes it easier to find/identify them later on.
I've checked the recorder for all the cameras and this is the timeline the cameras caught
0303h - adult (Smiley by the size & flight control) dropped by the nestbox without food and Vimy rushed out from inside. Smiley took off and Vimy spent the next 5ish minutes flapping madly on the box edge. (skycam)
0533h - food delivery - again Smiley and Vimy rushed out for food - he didn't stay long and she didn't go back "inside" and was visible on the cams (skycam & ledgecam)
0545h-0700h - Vimy on & off flapping like mad, stomping around in the box, up/down on the box edge
0708h - Vimy hopped out of the nestbox and down the ledge - doesn't like being alone - tried to get under louvres with more force/determination than other Radisson chicks (skycam, box cams x 2 and ledgecam)
0913h - Vimy finally hops back into the nestbox & immediately goes inside (skycam & ledgecam)
0925h - napping in feathers in box (box cams x 2)
1113h - away & up onto box edge (sky cam, box cams x 2, ledgecam)
1126h - food delivery from Smiley and Vimy lunged at him after she took the food (aggressive little thing) but hasn't started to eat it (skycam & ledgecam)
If it wasn't so early and you managed to get even a blurry photo, please email it to me!
Thanks!
