Good morning.
Today will be a nice day- not so hot anymore. Although our chicks gaven't been banting for the last few days already. The conditions in the nest are bearable again

KK chicks are practising their skills. Bonus is sitting.
A good way to recognize K1 is to look at the neck feathers. There are clearly more dark feathers on the neck than any other sibling.

08.16 Feeding (1) by Karl. Fish is on the menu. Karl leaves right after the feeding.




08.17 The chicks start twittering in between themselves. A nice conversation

Bonus and K1- the difference in neck feathers is visible.

Here's something I missed earlier:

06.57 K3 casts a pellet. It gets dis-assembled by the siblings very quickly. Bonus even swallows a piece of it.
