A close up look at hatch progress, and dear Blue 022 trying to feed the egg!
Not well edited (as I don't know how!) and a bit long, but here's CJ7 helping hatch, view of chick in the egg and a little of 022 looking to feed (which he did for around 10 minutes)
Geemeff and Janet, thank you so much for the amazing footage and Alison, many thanks to you for alerting us to something that I have never seen before - totally wonderful
Janet B said:apologies, didn't see this before I posted below!
The more, the merrier, Janet! Isn't it wonderful, after all CJ7 went through, to have a partner whose caring instincts are so strong, he's trying to feed the egg. Looks like it will be a while yet, but one good crack and it would speed things up.
Have 3 Osprey eggs ever all hatched on the same day before? I've heard of 2, but never 3.It would be nice to say the correct thing on live TV.
Poole Harbour on Springwatch BBC2 . I recorded the segment in case you can't access it - BBC missed a trick not showing Blue 022 trying to feed the egg! But it's confirmed two eggs are hatching now.
