Thanks, everyone. How nice to have you post, Dave. That's high praise indeed from the Bluebird master.

I've been finding it very frustrating trying to milk a little more distance from my 400mm lens. All of the shots I've been posting of the chicks have been sharpened and cropped, sometimes to within an inch of their lives. I caught up with Pete at the nest yesterday so will leave it to him to post some clear images of the chicks. (I will say it was very tempting to push him over the embankment and nick his 500mm lens).

This shot is from the 7th, but I just love it when I can get a family shot. Dad's on the left of the image and the smaller chick is snuggled down, next to its older sibling.
