Morning all bringing Badgies post forward
While Lassie was having a mega-preen the chicks were collapsed in a happy heap - what more could they want than Mama nearby, full bellies, and a fish at the ready?
One surfaces:
Then another:
Lassie started a feed as soon as she'd sorted herself out - only two up for it as yet:
IMAGICAT
All three agog now:
Hello, popped in to Lowes today. Nice weather late afternoon, I was there at about 4pm. Centre seem to believe that Lassie is a first time mum. There seem to be a view that she seem quite surprised with her first egg, like it was all new to her. The cup when you see it there is so deep compared to how it looks on the screen. She fed the chicks while I was there and Laddie was hiding on one of his perches behind the nest out of view. The centre are also happier with the feedings for #3, not through bullying or anything but because s/he always seems to be facing the wrong way. Here are a couple of snaps, not very exciting but as Lassie was sitting on chicks and Laddie was in hiding there was not much activity. These are Lassie having a wing stretch. I may go back in a couple of weeks.
A big THANK YOU for your report and pics, LMAC. What a shame you didn't get to see Laddie in the feather, hope you can go again in a couple of weeks and he's more obliging then.
In the meantime, we're well and truly down :-(
No change, except for the time.
Good Morning. Lassie keeping her chicks warm and safe © SWT
