Lovely shot Davy, I thought I had seen a similar shot from you before.

Thanks for looking and commenting Nick and Ron.

These three are this years brood, I suspect from the same adult birds as last year.

Last years brood fledged within two days of me photographing them, I expect these to fly the nest by the end of this week.

Did you notice the bird on the right with the open beak? He's in the process of passing a food pellet.

Dave
