I thought I'd give an update. I've been to the nest each day, but it's been not only cloudy, but the nest is in shadow at critical times. However, all three chicks are thriving and still no sign of any squabbling. Big Hook is doing a fantastic job. Madam X reports that when she has seen Big Hook feeding them, they're all in a row and it's two pieces for the first one, two pieces for the second one and two pieces for the third, and so on. When I get there late afternoon, they have often had a feed and spend a lot of time sleeping. They are all moving around the nest with great confidence.

From yesterday, a dark photo, but it shows all three chicks. Dad had just delivered a fish.
