At 05:24 this morning, the first chick made an appearance :
Several more quickly followed, Dora feasted on egg shells for breakfast !! Here we can already see hungry beaks begging for food, as the two proud parents look on :
More hatchlings followed throughout the day, and both Dan and Dora worked feverishly to feed the fast growing brood. By the end of the day, as far as I could make out, there were still at least 2 unhatched eggs. Here we can clearly see 7 expectant hungry gapes. Amazing to think that these chicks are literally hours old!
Phew ! A busy first day for the proud new parents ...
