We knew there was a nestling there, somewhere - have only heard him, but not seen him, for the past 10 days. First time he's deigned to be seen with his parents!

So glad you got the photo of what we both saw. Such an interesting evening with mum just turning her head to feed at times and other times disappearing completely into the hollow. I wonder if there is a second nestling in the hollow.

Also interesting to see mum and dad come back and enter the hollow together and then sit together at the entrance for awhile.
