Nest 3
As of today 4 young sited in the flight. 1st totally normal looking but split for pied - 2nd one had a few light white splashes on the head and a couple of white wing flights - 3rd in line was more like the second but much more white running right across the back of the neck. This bird is very similar to the pattern from the cock birds from nest number one. 4th young fawn- Best of the bunch as she is the fawn hen split for pied.
Photo's to come

First of all congratulations,well done.If i was you ,i'd keep an eye on that young fawn hen as it doesn't look too well. Craig

thanks i know what you mean. but she's ok. it's really the camera at fault. i'm inside the shelter with no flash and using a very slow shutter speed. so in reality your really looking at a half hearted eye blink!
next time i will fire a flash burst at them and liven the little buggers up lol
