LAM - thanks for all the reports - hopefully a good day for you??
My internet is playing up or could be the site as I am unable to post captures but just now there is a feed in progress.
Current scene! Not a bird in site they have all taken shelter even the ducks :-)
We were just watching the terns and black headed gulls having a good go at each other but the weather has won territory!
Morning ALL
Today, Chick #1 is 15 days & #2 is 13 days old
Thanks LAM for yesterday's reports and PATILY for update on earlier feeds.
A few moment ago 33 arrived, collected the fish from the back of the nest and flew off with it
The chicks are still snoozing off their earlier fish
