Lovely little moment. It's funny how the female often seems to follow the male out of the box as soon as he's brought her food!

I have just got back from my weekend away, had a brilliant time walking Goredale scar and Malham area. An hour after getting in and switching on camera the first chick arrived at 19.05, my calculations had it has 15 days tomorrow, so chuffed though I got back literally an hour before No 1 arrived, No 2 came at around 20.00, have switched off now but will see how many have arrived over night, so glad I ordered worms before I went away!
Will put pics up tomorrow.

Brilliant Karen, we are still in sync!
I haven't ordered worms yet - Tony has been doing a brilliant job so far and still in two minds about it, but will prob order some in the next few days for when they get a but bigger. I haven't "trained" them up on the feeder recently though, so I wonder if they will find them in time?

Glad to see the poops are just as humungous in other BT nests! I was beginning to wonder if mine had a digestion problem!  |

Lol very big poops! What goes in must come out! All 8 are doing great, both parents are brilliant, Judith is very diligent with keeping the nest clean too.

Wouldn’t fancy being a bird mum  🤮, but thank goodness they are so diligent or the nests would be awful. Judith doing a great job. Great video again Karen. Sue |
