    She seems to be doing well especially if you think she's a first time Mum.
    I think it was after a couple of days when I questioned on twitter the Sheffield pair messing about feeding the chicks and Ed said they would still be relying on the nutrients from the egg.

    You're right D, second was only out early hours this morning but the first one hatched yesterday morning needs topping up now, she is definitely a first timer, the most immature I've ever seen with those brown feathers & streaked chest, was thought in some circles that her eggs would be infertile due to her age so a good result!

    Mrs leaves chicks,and I think Dad returns quickly with a fresh pidgie,proceeds to start de feathering at far end but decides to bring it to chicks, continues de feathering and feeds a little to one chick,then takes prey back to far corner flies off.
    Mrs returns and immediately sits on chicks,without feeding.

    EDIT Wendy thinks was Only Mum....No Dad  Thanks a zillion........

    Great captures Kate, good to know there is food available ... all pics are of Mum, recognisable by the light coronet on her head & that very barred tail
