Lot has changed over past few days. Went to photograph on Sunday and could see 3 chicks and assumed the others were unseen in the back of the nest.
Anyway went back this morning and it was obvious that there was only three chicks in the nest

Went back this afternoon and only one chick in the nest, youngest by looks of it. Hopefully the adults will feed it until it fledges.

One on chicks was sat on this perch not looking too steady

Unlikely I'll see all the chicks at one time so probably going to be difficult to know for sure all fledged successfully, just hope the last one makes it.
