It seems that Telyn overdid the delayed incubation of egg #1 this season, and we therefore have chicks only from eggs #2 and #3. But what fine chicks they are - thanks to the new man Idris's provisioning and Telyn's mothering, they are doing very well.
Proud parents:
I hope you're not having a justified giggle at my struggles on this routine first of the month, KORKY, cos I didn't do the new thread early! It's been worse, tho.

Much the same today, from a quick glance at the live stream now
Thank you for the lovely Jay, LIMPY - I have "treated" it, after a fashion ;)
Yesterday morning, instead of fishing !!!
Then he got his act together - a slender flounder, due to being in profile:
Next, a mullet:
Next, a flounder - and a fine mess he got it into ;) but it still fed the kids well:
Idris came to claim it back from under Telyn:
But Telyn wouldn't have it! She took it from him and fed the chicks, then Idris was allowed to eat the tailend on the nest.
No disasters overnight.
Live mullet for breakfast:
Idris took it away after the chicks had been fed, then brought most of it back... then took it away again (chick-feeds in between).
That's it for now :)
