Awwwww ... pleased I have just visited this thread, because until now I stoopidly thought it was summut like student rugby  ... will keep an eye on this from now on 

Can't as yet read @jonsie 's link to sadistic gunshot attacks on cats ... I know it happens eg its shown on Facebook ... as comedian & animal lover Ricky Gervais says 'People who are unkind to animals are generally unkind to human beings'

Awesome pic! Is that the mum and dad both looking after the eggs?

They take it in turns.....the female is the larger one.

Nice! It's always lovely to see that kind of cooperation in the animal kingdom.

Chicks are getting so big now that they won't all fit easily under Mum or Dad. Probably early next week they'll be out in the open especially if the weather warms up.

I wondered about the weather @Beenherebefore A bit blumming cold for nesting chicks isn't it? When will they actually leave the nest?
