Link to June 2019 thread (Following Karen's excellent example of providing useful links....)
On 1 July, chick 1 is 30 days old. Chick 2, from egg 3, is 27 days old.
Apart from the sad failure-to-hatch of egg 2 , everything has been reasonably settled on the nest, and Louis is in the running for Mary's 'Fisherman of the Year Award'.

22-24 And supper has arrived. Whole fish - medium size
Not a nice late-evening:
Familiar insects, this being one of them:
Both got up for a poop, shame they didn't quite synchronise:
Aila had a droop-nap:
After a flyabout she had more droop-naps but was very watchful:
As well she might have been, but I couldn't see a culprit:
Another duo-poop:
Flyabout:
These chicks can poop for Scotland!
Aila flew off during the 4-o'clock buffer and has not been seen since !!!
One chick shifted a big stick:
The other did some tail-work - but there's a big gap in it :o
IMAGICAT
From rollback - during the buffer nothing bad happened:
Aila had a stretch and waggled her tail, then JJ0 walloped her on the head (which I can't quite capture and it was a blur anyway), then she casually flew off:
Aila didn't return until 06:00, when she brought... you guessed it! Bark!
The chicks, particularly JJ0, had active phases:
Aila was in 'n out with little things, then a stick:
She's up on the Robin's perch now.
Aila flew off a minute ago - to look for absentee husband?
Previously, JJ0 treated us to a wingercising session, I think it's the first serious effort we've seen ???
07-13am .. Fish.... whole, not big,,,but first fish of the day
(LoL Ian,,,tell you what, I'll take a nap for 120 winks, your in charge of fish delivery announcements for at least the next 6 hours )
Aila brought another stick and off she went again:
Next time she waited for Louis to bring BREAKFISH !!!
Whole! They're still eating as I type.
