Feeding, flapping........

Morning ALL. I don't follow this nest as closely as perhaps I ought, but I can't believe how huge the chicks are. Dare I hazard a guess that the chick who has learned the art of wing flapping is chick #1, and could also be the precocious one being interested in the world around it, whilst the others are sparko having had a good feed. Lassie was finishing a tail end as I looked in, then had a quick flyabout, before returning to keep an eye on the youngsters and the world about her.
The alert one is now lying down, but still trying to see what's going on.
Possibly a brief intruder alert from overhead 12.04
It might have been a crow. Laddie landed, and has subsequently taken off

Lassie has headed off. Just before it seemed as if she was trying to dry out possibly have had a dip in the loch. The chicks give us a look :-)
Lassie is back. 2 chicks had a poop. They have spotted something above and quickly flatten out on the nest......
There is still something around and Lassie flies off to check...wonder if it's Laddie's other 'friend' ;-)
Back again..........
I see 2 chicks are still practising their wing flaps
The other is being fed
We have zoom on the nest.........
All were preening a few minutes ago, one now resting............
Just for the back of head shots of two chicks.....
