They look like flatpack chicks but good to see all 3

Cant believe how big these Guys are now, read the update




WS

They are all chilled out tonight, looks as though they have had a good feed


WS

WS - good to know they are all doing okay.

Lai

Some lovely pictures there WS and good to know they are all doing well. I have just had a look in and it's very windy there and raining too, hence the not very good blury picture, they are all huddling up to mum, it's definiately mum as I managed to get a quick glimpse of her eye.

Latest update


Looks as though the weathers as bad in Dakorah as it is here


WS

I have just been watching this family and at the moment I can only see two chicks but I am sure the third is around somewhere, maybe cuddled up to mum. Fist I only saw her then one poking out the front and one behind, then the one at the back got quite fidgety and started moving around, they have really grown since I last looked in and they look really healthy, hopefully chick three is just hiding somewhere.
heres mum

One chick at the front and one at the back but i'm sure the one at the front is kind of hiding chick three

The one at the back was having a good wobble around

Great photos Littlewid, let's hope #3 is okay.

Good news - had a look just now and it looks like all 3 are sleeping peacefully.

Lai

On first looking, two chicks.

Then three chicks

Then in flew mum with what I thought was food but it turned out to be more padding for the nest.



Then mum flew off and left the chicks alone

Then in flew dad with a huge twig in his mouth

He was carting this twig all round the nest wondering where to place it

Finally he dropped it and flew off

looks like a little nest housework was going on between mum and dad

Great shots Littlewid. That was a huge stick

Lai

Brilliant sequence of shots there LW . I'm sure the chicks are on steroids look at the size of them from a week ago


WS

Three very healthy chicks this evening and your right WS they really have grown, they are being very well looked after by mum and dad.

You really do have to prepare yourself for looking in on these three because not only are they very noisy but there is also a lot of birds around as well and they always seem to be chattering, it is lovely don't get me wrong but your ears really do take a bashing from this very noisy cam but it is also wonderful to hear so many bird songs going on.

They are so big now - great photo Littlewid, and yes noisy but wonderful.

Lai

Just checked in on the chicks and it is very windy there, they are getting quite blown.

Then get this, the one on the left, opend his wing and covered the other two, how sweet was that

It really is quite blustery there at the moment.

Great photos Littlewid - lovely to see the chicks.

Lai

Great shots LW, thanks nice to see them looking after each other. It is a noisy cam, I always turn the volumd down berfore I look in
WS

Wow the time has flown for these 3




WS

Wow, 26 - 30 days before they may fledge then WS, that will be exciting, I wonder if they stay around the nest site or fully fledge off on their own.
