FOULSHAW MOSS, & ALL LAKE DISTRICT NEST OBSERVATIONS 2022

What an odd coincidence Only the 3rd nest I've looked at and on each nest just 2 chicks being fed and the 3rd asleep
Then the 2 diners turn away and the chicks huddle up together Nice portion of fish left for 35

All the family (Dad just broght in a stick):

35 has a MrsG look on her face:

The chicks were home alone and then 35 came into land with a crow seconds behind The pesky crow continued to haress her and dive bomb her for a while I think/hope it is gone now. 35 did some lunges at her tormentor and was flapping her wings whilst all the time scolding it The sound she was making I have never heard before I am hoping SCYLLA has a recording of the incident. The soundwas completely different to the intruder alarm. Poor 35 sounded really distressed.

Finding it really difficult to tell the chicks apart. One asleep another attacking the third who migh just be #3 S/he gives such plaintive icries and goes into submission. However, as soon as it raises a head the attack is launced again with the same results. This time it stays down for longer by which time the "bully" has settled down All now doing a little preening

The close-up cam is very freezy.  Everyone's currently on the nest, chicks all sleeping:

Acting as a sunshade as opposed to having to act as an umbrella
