It looks as though the eggs in Box3 are starting to hatch.

As far as I can tell, there are two chicks here.

John seems to have realised there is a chick to feed pretty quickly.  I wonder how the male finds out when this has happened?

Anyway, here he is with something in his beak . . .

 . . . which he passes to Chris.

Chris with what looks like a little green caterpillar, which she proceeds to feed to the chicks.

At the end of the day it looks as though there are three unhatched eggs.  I expect that if they are going to hatch, they will do so overnight tonight.
