On the quad view there was a falcon on the corbel to the right, not sure which but the falcon had gone and then the tiercel flew up with the food. He has just come back again as I type but he left quickly leaving the food behind. I have some screengrabs will put on flickr.<br /><br />He does seem very intent on feeding the chicks this year more than previously. Maybe he is getting soft in his old age. He is still as gorgeous as ever! lolPhoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284500199021475114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-34721780609154894532014-05-11T16:56:57.791+01:002014-05-11T16:56:57.791+01:00That was nice to watch.

I guess that other people here picked up some screen-grabs. If not, I'll load mine later. Just need to do something else now but brilliant family scenes. Chick 4 must be bursting and the falcon was very firm about pushing it underneath her wing!
