Home is the hunter Episode 3

Aah, food!
If I read the situation correctly while I was taking the shots, Dad coot handed -handed?! - some of the food he'd foraged to Mum and kept some back in order to feed a chick himself. Dad's charge was the pushiest of the babies.
I noticed a third chick whilst I was watching. There may have been more but if so, they weren't visible.

[Cindi S]

wow. fantastic family shot. do you use a big zoom or were you really close?

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@csimmons Thank you, Cindi. :-) It's taken via a 300mm lens which I think is sort of middling. I was standing about 10 feet (3m) away, maybe a bit more - not very good at guessing distances! - and this has been cropped a bit as well.

[Jean Tookey]

A brilliant capture. What good parents sharing the task.

Handed? Beaked? Winged? Lol, whatever - it's still a beautiful shot, much like your whole series :-)
