The three chicks are still there and were seen being fed almost equally this morning. What is now of concern (there's always something, isn't there?) is that Dad brought in a yellow plastic bag and placed it right where the chicks are. Several worst case scenarios are going through my head. People who discard their rubbish.

In this shot, the three chicks are spread out in front of that bag. The white sheet of plastic that has been there for many weeks is now half buried beneath the outer section of the nest and shouldn't pose a danger. Sorry about the quality, but the light really was poor. It was windy and I hoped that the wind might pick the bag up and carry it off, but no such luck whilst I was there.
