:?: Hi, the camera has not worked since yesterday, the picture stopped yesterday.

Is it same way by you others too? Can't find also any info about it at the home page. :?:

Hopefully it's only the camera - nothing to do with chicks. :?

Thanks robbo! Now the cam is running also by me, the glitch took some hours, that's why I got worried.

And just before Kuva ... makes me feel good too.

Looks like the adults are not having any trouble finding food for these 3, but there is still a very big difference in the size of the eldest 2 compared to the youngest. He clearly is being fed ok by the female but to my eye still appears way behind his siblings ... still alls ok at the moment

All 3 looking more or less the same size, and apart from the down on the back of the youngest(left hand bird) its getting hard to tell them apart :D

:smilie_wet_150: As you said ... more or less ;)

Presenting their wings today.

:ifly: Kuva The oldest

:ifly: Kuva Middle One

:ifly: Kuva Mom looks at the fine wing of youngest. :D

Robbo, it accured to me, that maybe it's also that the 2 oldiest are female and the youngest is male, the difference in size partly due to this fact (only one factor among many others)?
