The season so far:
Glesni (Blue 12) and Monty arrived back within hours of each other on 1st April. Glesni laid three eggs on the 14th, 17th, and 20th April. Currently both adults are taking turns to incubate the eggs which are expected to hatch towards the end of May.

Thanks, Starling, Thelma and KariAnne--Glad to hear number 3 has had something yesterday! Poor thing often seems to be trapped behind its older siblings. With luck, it has had enough for a little one its size and will have more later today!
Kind regards, Ann
I thought Monty was coming in with a fish the way Glesni got up but she just flew off and came back with a few twigs
So did I Patily! Clear view of all three chicks looking fit and well.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning all. Thankyou for the updates and fabulous close up pics of the chicks :) Lovely to see three healthy chicks ! Monty always the doting dad.
Not a pretty sight .... #1 bullying its siblings !!!!
the three chicks
#1 quite aggressive to #3 and then #2
Glesni intervenes covering them

Thanks for earlier reports that #3 has been fed, anytime I have watched I have not seen it being fed.
Fish . ... Monty arrives with a fish and Glesni starts to feed
#1 is first up
#2 is now up and #3 at the back
#2 getting fish along with #1
#2 seemed to get dragged across with the fish and #1 follows ... #3 needs to get itself forward too
Glesni continues to share the fish between #1 and #2
#3 nothing as yet. I think Glesni will have to feed the eldest two first and then #3?
10:53 #3 still at the back and shouting ...
10:55 Glesni tidying/picking up scraps from nest but she goes back to the fish. She feed #1 and #2 some more.
10:57 Feed Over. Glesni leaves the fish, tidies up and covers the chicks
#3 got nothing at that feed! :-(((
Monty had taken the fish away and now returned with it and Glesni feeding the chicks again.
Once more #3 is at the back! It must get forward
#2 being fed
#1 being fed
#3 is pushing more, hopefully it can get through
Bob 3 at last got some food :-)
Here is Bob 3 getting its share....
