Stuffing their faces at the moment, pigeon pie again?

Great view while feeding.

 

All of them got a bit too, unlike one point yesterday when only two out of the three got fed (and the parent seemed to take most for herself).

The last few years one parent fetched the grub.

But just noticed he/she left the chicks alone and fetched some food..

I've not seen both parents together?

I'm wondering if there's only one.

The male is definitely around and there's been a few changeovers - but they do seem to be struggling a bit more this year. The male has struggled to bring back food, and when he has it has been smaller prey with limited food. The female has gone out a couple of times to 'top up', so to speak but doesn't go far and comes back to warm the chicks up.

 

It is really fascinating to watch!

She's just left the nest for a takeaway.

Lovely view of the chicks..
