The chicks are far more visible in the nest at this very early stage than they have been in previous years, when we'd be lucky to catch a glimpse of them during the first few days. Even seeing the eggs has been a first.

From this afternoon. Dad brought a live fish to Big Hook on the nest who took it with great gusto. She had a feed herself, but the poor fish was still alive by the time she started feeding the chicks. In this first shot, Dad is making the delivery. Look towards the base of Big Hook's tail and you should see both chicks.
