Earlier today, via the overhead view camera, a fluffy white huddle of at least two hatchlings were seen --

Where is the male ? Does he also participate in feeding the younglings?

I read that some are monogamous, same partner for life. I also read that they mate in the air, is that really true?

I believe that both parents take turns in keeping the eggs warm and, once hatched, bringing food for & feeding the young.

As for the mating process, I do not know. I've certainly never witnessed any such activity.

I have seen it happen on the 'scrape' (nest) on one of the webcams once.

The three young are now just given some food and then left to eat it, in their own time.

The Norwich three are not so quite advanced as their Nottingham cousins . . .

One "egg" has flown, the other two will soon follow . . .
