    Great feed - no aggression and #3 extremely well fed in line with its siblings

    Fingers crossed that we've turned the corner

  • All 3 were asleep then the 2 older chicks put their heads up and were watching whoever was on the cam post, probably B35. Then all 3 stood up and stretched and #1 tried a little flap and they allsettled down agakn

  • Feed in progress with all lined up being fed

    LB took up a submissive pose when No1 moved closer, but no bonking took place, then after a short time LB took up position and started feeding again.

  • Retrospective to late lunchtime, sorry, but ickle bits of interest Wink

    There was a strange intruder episode in the afternoon - I can't think it was an osprey because of 35's reaction, she'd surely have been mantling, flapping and chipping (chipping heard - just, I tried to increase the volume but it's hopeless - must have been YW unseen?)...  I wondered if there was a drone or even an eagle going over?
