Onwards the chicks go, getting bigger and bigger thanks to the large amount of food coming in, another example below.
The image quality is still not great I’m afraid.
We are now entering the final week as by the normal schedule they should fledge next Tuesday, 14 days after hatching. Still a way to go but so far there have been no signs of alarm and everything is going well. I thought at the start that the sixth chick, which hatched a day later, may be at risk of not making it, but it seems that all of them are on track.
Hopefully they’ll be no nasty surprises round the corner.
