Morning,

I was slightly worried about the Lorton chicks yesterday as they spent time out of the box during the day. Last night, I only saw one come in but did hear another in the 'tunnel'.

A great relief to see all three safe and sound this morning!

Going on feather development, #3, left, #1 at the back , and #2, front

#3 and #2 were standing more upright than #1

Len Pick: Both looking good - plenty of cached prey!

Thought I would check in.Len PIck still two, but Lorton THREE all jumped up to ledge this morning.Missed first one ,these two followed soon after I assume.

Sorry No where near as informative as our own dear Oracle 

one to go

up and away

am sure they will be back

Thanks for pics Kate, very cute and interesting now they're so active, you have prompted me to get some footage which I'll edit & upload after lunch

Thanks Sandra for Len Pick captures, will get some movie action from there too!

Three lively ones coming & going at Lorton Meadows... 

Not so full of action at Bourne but these two are much younger ...
