Slightly quiet day for the birds yesterday. One thing that was obvious was that all the eggs have now hatched
Still hard to say with any certainty how many chicks there are because this is how they spend most of the time currently. One chick having a good yawn and the foot of another visible.

Female left the nest briefly to stretch her wings

She didn't go far and was soon back in the nest, whilst she was away the chicks just kept very low in the nest. Like this image for the shape and shadow.

That was really as much happened. This moring we had really low cloud, nearly touching top of the mill. So no pics today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
