A chick jumps to the hole to look out.
"We're going today!"
Well some of them do.
The system was set up to start at about 5.30 this morning and in fact started at 5.39am. It was immediately clear that several of the chicks were restless to go.
Energetic flapping practice.
Another look outside.
In many of the pictures recorded today you can see three chicks looking agitated, two chicks not wanting to know - and Scrap pretending he's going with the first lot! Below left you can see that he is practising his wing flapping too!
"I can fly too!"
Dad comes in to talk to the eldest chicks. Scrap doesn't want to be left out.
