hopefully not squashing those little chicks.

Lai

Just about to check on Petunia and the chicks Lai but heres Gills garden looking as pretty as a picture but no Foxes as yet.


Heres our Petunia sitting brooding the chicks that you can just see in front of her, all looks very peaceful this afternoon.

A perfect afternoon

Lai

It looked beautiful in Gills garden this afternoon and it was lovely to see the sun shinning behind Petunia as well.

Hopefully Badger Cam will be back up tomorrow.

It seems a while since you saw any Foxs at Gills. Petunia looks really comfortable there LW
WS

Apparently badger cam was up and working last night with lots of activity, but I missed the whole thing!!!

Lai

I missed it to, to busy watching Flash, and Opal
WS

WS - difficult to watch everything, big split screen with 8 options would be good

Lai

I too was watching Flash and Opal but I thought it wasn't up till today, tonight it's going to be a tussle between Flash and Opal and Mikes Badger cam.....split screen sounds brilliant ......and not having to go to bed to get up for work in the morning ......if only

littlewid-x-

It wasn't supposed to be working until today but Mike must have fixed it as I got a Tweet but couldn't check it out.

Lai

After that awful story about the Pigeon I just had to check on Petunia, and she is looking lovely this evening and you can see her chicks underneath her at the front, one of them has his head out and they are quite big now, Petunia is doing a fantastic job with them and I think she is a very pretty Pigeon

Good to know that Petunia and the chicks are okay, thanks Littlewid. She does look very cosy in her nest.

Lai

Petunia is brooding those chicks this evening, it is still fairly light there but quite windy at the moment. I have been wondering how she has been eating because I have not seen her leave the nest and I have not seen a mate bring in any food to her, but she looks healthy enough so she must be doing ok.
Here she is giving us her best side

Another great pic LW, she really is photogenic is'nt she. She must be feeding during the day, as far as I know unlike Raptors, who bring in fresh kills, Pigeons who are basicly seed eaters have to go out, and feed themselves. I will try to have a look in the daytime tomorrow if I get chance
WS

I found this via WW Twitter



Lai

Thanks for the Video Lai, thats what I thought happened. The two chicks look really healthy today, and the weather looks OK unlike here in Wales

Finaly got round to getting a pic off the Cam
WS

WS - nice photo. Shame you've got we're okay just now.

Lai

Thanks for the info WS, I suppose I should have realised that really, silly me.

That was a brilliant video clip Lai and so lovely to see, I think to distinguish Petunia from Perry ( yes I have named Dad Perry) I think Perry has more white to the tips of his wings.

Great pic from earlier WS, I have just got these pics of Petunia and the chicks and boy they have grown. Never having seen Wood Pigeo chicks before it's amazing how fluffy they are.





littlewid-x-

It's now pouring wit rain quite heavily by the sounds of it and the chicks are now huddling underneath petunia......hope they dont all get too wet tonight.

littlewid-x-

Thanks for the pics Littlewid. They do seem to be growing at a huge rate.

Here's one from just now in Gill's garden,
one of the cubs asleep on the shed roof.

More to follow .............

Lai

and then









Fleur having breakfast

lovely to see first thing this morning

Lai

Oh my goodness Lai, those are gorgeous pictures from yesterday, they are so close as well. The cubs have so grown haven't they and beautiful Fleur, oh I wished I had seen those myself so glad you managed to get the captures. I have missed checking them today so I must look in tomorrow.

Couldn't go to bed tonight though without checking on Petunia, here she is resting beside her two chicks, looks like it's bedtime there too.

littlewid-x-

Cracking photos Lai, really lovely to see the Cubs, and dont they look well, and so at ease in the Garden, was this one of the Cams you could'nt see ?. Yep looks like bedtime for our Pigeon family LW thanks for checking
WS

No WS I can always see Peregrine cam, fox cam and Sirikoi Lodge on my laptop but not the other 5. I can see them all on my PC at work and all of them on my mobile so a big

Good to see Petunia looking comfy with her chicks, thanks for checking Littlewid.

Lai

I haven't checked on Petunia and the chicks since Saturday, so couldn't go to bed with out checking on them. Petunia is obviously off feeding and the chicks are on their own at the moment but you can now see how they have grown.
