Still an egg at Poole Harbour to hatch. Never seen a nest with four chicks before. It does happen but rarely.

If the fourth egg does hatch is there any risk the chick will become lunch for the elder siblings?

Thanks for the update Peregrine, hope there are plenty of fish for them to catch.

Taken on Kielder Water last week

Great photo PB, looks like a decent meal

Great photo - always carry the fish head first.

Nice one PB.

Never knew that! It was my first decent sighting, have only seen one even more distant in Poole Harbour previously

Dreigh at Loch Arkaig. Female looks miserable hunkered down in the nest cup.

Thanks for the info.
