Thanks Pelle. It is so interesting to see the difference in Big Hook this year. She is so relaxed. Not like the previous two years when she was unsettled and demanding. She'll now happily doze, on and off, for a couple of hours. The previous two years she would be constantly moving around, tripping over her own feet as she tried to carefully move around the nest and squawking at her poor mate. She seems very contented.

There was very little activity this afternoon. I was there for well over two hours. Dad vanished and still hadn't returned by the time I left. The chicks barely stirred and Big Hook was happy to have her brood around her.

Here's a shot of the youngest one.
