The chicks are still in the nest, but the largest one is getting increasingly adventurous. When its not too windy it often spends time hopping out onto branches next to the nest, and then vigourously flapping. Probably much to the relief of its siblings, which before kept getting clonked on the head when it wanted to exercise!
With growing chicks also come growing appetites, and this morning we had the unusual sight of one of the chicks with a crow's wing stuck out of its beak. Evidently the crow had been a road casualty and the remains had been brought back to eat. One of the chicks gobbled the whole lot down, but had trouble with the final piece. It finally managed to swallow it though, much to the relief of all.
