It's that time of year again.

Couple of eggs at the Bath site but nothing yet in Norwich.

4 eggs being incubated in the Bath site and 3 in Norwich, there was 4 in Norwich but not sure what happened to the 4th egg. Very foggy misty morning in Norwich, you have to admire Mum & Dad with their long, cold, windblown sittings.

3 little fluffy chicks in Bath, one little one hatched away from Mum and saw her trying to push him/her near the others to get warm and cosy  :)

The Bath nest looks a lot more sheltered than the Norwich one. Good pics though at both sites.

Not a lot to be seen on either cam at the moment as the birds are in the way! Nora in Norwich still looks frozen.  :oki:

4 chicks nestling in Bath while Mum & Dad off getting food or chasing away bad neighbours. The chicks fit themselves together like a little live jigsaw.

2 chicks hatched in Norwich but haven't seen them yet.

Why is it that every time I look at the nests the Mum or Dad looks directly at the camera as if to say 'what you looking at'. I feel like a peeping tom.

Know what you mean BeeTee, the big mother in Norwich is quite scary.

Noticed this morning that in Bath 3 of the chicks alone and shuffled into the shade, looks like one poor little one didn't make it, was underneath the others in a hot little huddle before they moved
