Starling said:
I'm delighted to report there are now 2 chicks at FM
-------------oooOOOooo----------------
That's brilliant news Starling - when I was checking this morning 35 was sitting tight.
They look almost identical in size in your screen captures which is good!
Feed in progress. Smallest one is looking the wrong way, but of course could have already had a bite of fish before I looked in.

Well caught Starling, I haven't been lucky enough to see them when I open the cam.
Feed in progress at 21.24
Both B35 and YW seem to have a fish each.
YC brought in a fairly large fish, 35 must be starving as she is feeding herself before the chicks.
11.17 YW arrives from a different direction than normal with something in his talon not sure if it was fish or nest material.
Chicks get up
YW quickly leaves taking the fish? to chase an unseen intruder
Arrives back and both very alert watching someone
YW took off again, I then had to leave as shopping arrived, but all seems calm now at 11.42.
When I looked in there was a feed in progress.
13.44
Chick #1 got the lions share at this sitting.
Even when chick #2 got in the front position B35 just stretched over to feed the other one.
B35 offers a bit to #2 but eventually gave it to chick #1
Chick #2 gives up
B35 starts to clean up the nest
Hopefully the next sitting will be better for #2
Two parents, two fish, two chicks. YW (right) attempting to feed the chicks too
B35 continues to feed the chicks while YW moves a stick
