You could take them for baby dinosaurs

They are baby dinosaurs in the sense that birds are believed to be directly descended from dinosaurs. Same thing as us being a kind of ape.

We’re hooked on watching a live streaming web-cam of a pair of Peregrine Falcons. Been watching since they hatched.The nest is up on high - Norwich Cathedral.

Baggs All baby birds show their prehistoric ancestry, but these are particularly gothic-looking. Could be the size - they are a bit bigger than bluetit chicks!

Just a bit, elegran!

So beautiful, thank you Elegran

I can only see two now, and number one seems to be beating up the little 'un. Not quite so beautiful.

number one seems to be beating up the little 'un

Just like one's grandchildren then

Thank you Elegran.
The bird/dinosaur link reminded me of the Florda manatees, which are related to elephants and not, as you might think, whales or dolphins. defenders.org/florida-manatee/basic-facts

Wonderful to be able to watch the ospreys. They're having their lunch just now, and the little one is getting its fair share.

The little one looks stronger than he did earlier but he isn't challenging for the food. Mother is keeping on feeding the nearest beak, which is fatso. Perhaps he will get more when fatso falls asleep. That will be any minute now - he is stuffed full. I wonder if he ate number three?

I didn't realise there had been a number three. Must have missed it, but it does look like there is an egg still in the nest which maybe hasn't hatched.

I was sure I counted three earlier on. There were three eggs. I think they were larger than whatever is in the nest too. Maybe there are videos from before they hatched to check.

The eggs were expecting to hatch one a day, as they were laid, so number three may emerge tomorrow. He'll need to fightt two of them for his meals.

Expected to, not expecting to, but who knows, maybe a lot of planning was going on in there.

Oh my goodness, they are getting blown about today. It's amazing how the nest stands up to the gale.
