THREE CHICKS!

We were supposed to have rain today and it actually did sprinkle for a few seconds, but then the sun came out, albeit in fits and starts. So I went to the nest to check if both chicks were OK and was pleasantly surprised to see three little darlings.

Dad spent nearly all his time on the pole branch or on the right hand branch leading from the nest, but flew to the other side of the river to catch a fish when Big Hook asked him to. He took his catch to his preferred branch outside Madam X's place and eventually brought the headless fish to Big Hook, who fed all three without favouring or ignoring one above the other.


Thanks for your concern about the bee sting, Lily_love. It didn't hurt me a bit, because it was Pete who was stung.
