  • @ 13.03 there was quite a tusssle as Dad wanted to take over incubation & Mum didn't want to let him, she won!

    He didn't fly off, just perched then tried his luck again ten minutes later, still didn't win!!

  • Trying to tidy up, but cant resist going back to cuddle.

  • Trouble is Kate, she never fed the chick!  Their feeding has been rather erratic this afternoon!

    I thought the lone chick would get fed @ 16.15 but Mum & Dad so erratic with food & incubating this time

    Btw, the empty eggshell is now pushed against back of scrape, not visible on cam #1

    Can't see any cracks or pips in remaining eggs

    @ 19.11 Dad brings prey, Mum eats most of it, chick does not get fed again
