James River Bridge



Sir James was just going to keep them warm, but these eager customers wanted food! And kept on wiggeling and pushing and screaming until he did go and got some food for his hungry babies.
They are absolutely adorable, these three chicklets. The best part of it is, that they are equally strong, everyone gets the same amount of attention and the same amount of food. In so many nests that's quite different. When I watch these three grow in the past couple of days, it's just amazing how much difference one day makes. So anybody hatching a day later has a serious problem. That is why breeding does not start untill the second last egg has been laid. And for the same reason number one hatching is letting his sibblings know that she or he is on it's way. And cheering the other ones to hatch as well. In this eyrie everything went OK. Except the huge problems with the 4th egg that has not been able to hatch.
