If you captured one of these chicks alone you would never guess who its parents were. A brood of three, just hatched in the last few days at the local nature reserve.

I renewed my subscription to Pbase this week, it was a case of renew or be deleted. I'm not going to be spending as much time on PBase, as I have done in previous years, but it seemed a shame to let it go.

I will still be looking at your posts as I always have done, but please forgive me if my commenting isn't what it used to be. Thanks for all the support and advice over the years. Kevin
