JaneV said:Good morning all, I’ve just had a quick look at the video and I think they have had a couple of feeds prior to this one. I don’t normally but someone on the YouTube chat boards said one looked weak.
Thanks Jane for the update.
Interesting and alarming!! We will need to keep an eye on the chicks

One of the family
10:50 33, who had flown off, returns with a stick.
I expect there will be plenty lying around after the recent winds which I am sure will delight 33 :-D
Unseen intruder? 33 mantling
threat doesn't seem to be causing any real concern
Maya has flown off for a break
and I must take a break too as lots to do. BFN
Hi LAM - so pleased to read that the weather has improved - so much better for the birds and enjoyable for you.
I have just had a quick check on the nest between chores and goodness!! When did all the greenery arrive?
