Morning all! Just a very fleeting visit before work today to say that Dyfi has just posted a fab hi-def video of the second chick hatching on FB!

Monty on the high perch with a fish
Monty is on the T-post with a fish:
Now on the nest with it:
Glesni hasn't moved yet and Monty is tucking in.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
He takes the fish to the nest but Glesni has not moved
Every so often he stops and subtly hints to Glesni that he'd like to feed the chicks - she still hasn't moved! He is clearly hungry, though, so perhaps she wants him to eat as much as he needs to.
The cuckoo is still in good voice.
She is also, probably trying to work out, how to feed her chicks, without him moving too fast to brood the chicks :- ))
