It appeared to be OK here - I've got nearly 24 hours till I stopped it @ 02:45 this morning.

Speeding thru the 26th, I noticed how often YW stood by while the chicks were being fed

35 brooding and YW standing on the back ofthe nest After a while 35 stood up and flew off, presumably for a comfort break Three healthy looking chicks raised their heads but then nestled down again YW came down towards the cup but then he too took off. The chicks appeared to e alone for some long minutes but perhaps mum was elsewhere on the nest If she was she didn't make any contact calls Top cam not working so couldn't see whole nest even though I tried several times 35 is back and brooding now

Both cameras working fine now

02 June

Just now - and it looks as tho #3 was getting a bite but it's deceiving - 35 was offering bites to #2 and #3 but, during the short time I watched, ended up plonking them into #1's beak - it was quite funny, and not upsetting because they're all looking so well

Raining again and must have been for some time as 35 is soaking wet as she is hunkered down to peotect the chicks
