Our first sighting this morning showed a large piece of broken shell behind mum and the question was asked if this was detritus from the previous two hatchlings or something else. Around lunchtime, after yet another tower climb to plead with the nest camera to keep going a bit longer, mum stood up and presented us with three little furry heads, number three a lot smaller than the two older siblings. Number three spent most of its time this afternoon on its back when mum got up to re-adjust but all three siblings remained very close together.
In between bursts of camera life we presume dad has returned with food offerings at some stage today but he hasn’t been spotted or heard outside at all.
