Sharing duties what a day….wonderful watching from the ground there was a lot going on today….as well as all the good stuff there was an intruder which was eventually moved on by Mum…..let’s hope the third egg hatches we have time yet….I would hope in the next 48 hours or so….!!

So on review first chick at just before 2.30 am and second chick at just after 5am this film shows time line and first view of chicks ,Mums toilet break giving good views of the chicks …..First feed …..First time Dad looks after the Chicks this normally does not happen quite so quickly he normally has to earn the right so she must really trust him….they are a great pair….well done so exciting……Yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh…….!!!
