Thankfully another day when we started with five chicks and ended with five chicks. All five seem to be gaining strength and the dominant three are becoming less so. We might just make it to the end of this with all five fledging. No magpie attacks today, just the weather trying to drown anyone and anything that went out into the open.

The bird feeding station had a huge re-stock today so whilst not feeding the chicks directly, it keeps the parents energy levels up and our female can keep catching huge flies!

Will the chicks eyes be opening in the next day or so? That's the next question.

More tomorrow...
