Another new day and thanks to ChloeB we now have an easy way of checking the age of the chicks to the nearest millisecond! (well nearest hour anyway) See chicks ages.

Pretty conclusive I think. Fish 4

Looking back on Sheila'as pic of Star , maybe she doesn't look as beautiful as Rothes there ! And my Google Earth has gone awol so currently cannot watch Rothes' progress north
Cirrus at the moment I don't have a favourite between the two. They are developing such different characters, or perhaps it because of the difference in age. Storm seems to be in need of reassurance all the time, either from EJ if she is on the nest, or snuggles up to bigger sibling if they are alone. Perhaps the incident of being stuck on her back has had a short-term impact? (Not sure I really mean that, but I know that a dunking in the River Ouse when I was 10 had a huge impact on my concern - rather than fear - of being in water). Star is far more interested in exploring new things within the nest, copying EJ, and happenings off the nest. EJ seems to be aware of its wanderings and appears to be building up the side with THAT stick, and that shows up now on the still camera with more sticks on the lhs.
Fish four devoured! More please Odin.
Great pics, Everyone! I'm off out now, so last pic before I go...
Neither do I Sheila (have a favourite - as I did with Mallachie)
I think you may be right about Storm but I also think personalities come in here i.e. Confident Rothes and first hatched and just knew it and accommodating and somwhat timid Mallachie
When both Star and Storm are fully grown and feathered (at fledge) it will be really interesting to see how Storm develops.
I've just viewed your and Lindy's STILL pics again and yes, EJ is really concerned now for building up that previously vulnerable side to the nest ready for Tweens about to leave home and do all that wingercising :)
Rain approx at 4 pm and again at 10 pm and let's hope not all the way inbetween and over night as well
Have now adjusted the count up clock for Chick #2 to reflect auntie's time of 6.30am on 24th May. Have been doing so many things lately I had to remind myself of the captures she posted of the event. Sorry auntie! :)

Not sure if this is another Fish???
Yes I think it is!!
