Re: Daily Update (LG Nest) Monday 12th July

I feel a new thread coming on! "Chicks 1,2 and 3. - photo ID's, markings, required please."

jsb - that's a brilliant idea to include pics of the chicks for ID purposes!

Both the young ones on the nest are screeching for food, #1 is on the cam post as you can hear it from time to time.  Oh, that might have been it flying past then.  It could be EJ answering back, not sure.

Phew !! I'm gobsmacked JSB - more power to you if you can work out how to do that , it would be absolutely marvellous !!!!! Still, there are some 'geeky' type bods on the site - I'm sure if they read your post they'd be willing to help.

Still no breakfast - glad this is not my first year watching.   And Eldest still on the nest post I take it.

Both chicks are up and mouching about. Did anyone capture that beautiful wing feathers of #1 just then.

Am I seeing right - only one chick on nest or is it hiding???

Ah...it was hiding :o) Its off picture to the left I think.

Yes its there:o)

Both birdies dropped down in the nest there, something startled them.

I turn my back and there seems to be only one young one there .... anybody confirm that?

EDIT ... it was hiding to the left :-))

i just came back on and i could only see one one nest

Caught me out there too DJoanS, thought he had gone :o)

No, they're still there and one youngster is mantling like mum.

Lunch time, back soon.

BBC reporting the 'no rings' story.

The three home alone young ones are defending the nest against an intruder .... mantling and calling like they've seen EJ do ...  intruder tried to land on the nest

How quick they learn DjoanS I was watching them and saw the intruder too.  Don't think there has been any fish today or have I missed something.
