Catch-up part i - six hungry chicks

Sorry for the radio silence. Been very busy, not least sourcing waxworms from Pets at Home down the A3 (apologies to all the New Malden based lizards who have had to stick to more mundane food whilst my brood ate their treats).

Firstly, a clip from the 25th May. Here you can see the sun shining (a rare event in these characters lives so far), and both parents are finding bugs from the garden. Also, if you watch to the end, you see one of the chicks present their rear to the adult to have a faecal sac removed. Enjoy...


Initially there were seven chicks (and two unhatched eggs). The smallest chick lasted about three days, but we didn't see it removed. The other six all seem to be doing well.
