Only one chick left in the nest. Did anyone see the other three take flight?

They were all there earlier this morning. Probably wandered 'off camera' for a tea break

[sir.prize]

Thanks SA - they are now all present and correct again.

Seem to be three chicks there on the ledge with one of the adult birds

[Tilly2]

All there at the moment. Three in the nest and one on the ledge.

Prey just brought in

[Tilly2]

Excuse me sir.prize.

Rusty, what have the owls got in their nest? I saw something very bright yellow earlier. The big one pounced on it and then ate it. Do you know what it is?

[ladybirder]

What is she doing giving it all to the one on the ledge??

[Tilly2]

That's the only one awake, LB.

[carrust]

Do you mean the eagle owls? I didn't see it, but they had a fox last night, they were playing tug o war well into the early hours.

[Tilly2]

Yes, I do rusty. Never mind if you didn't see it earlier. Thanks anyway.

[carrust]

Kuke on Dyfi chat watches that nest most of the time, I'd put the question on there.

[Tilly2]

Yes, thanks, rusty. I will.

[Tilly2]

Line up for afternoon tea please.

[SlackAlice]

Grubs up. Watched them racing along the ledge to get there first.

[carrust]

Grubs up again, only 2 of the chicks seem to be hungry

[Tilly2]

They must be pretty tough to survive in that midden they have made. What a sloppy mess that part next to the nest is. The sooner they can fly off, the better.

Amazing close up video now . . .

[Baldric]

That's a brilliant close up atm.
