Within 2 days of me finding the nest the chicks were starting to poke out their heads, in fact I think they take it in turns to try and push each other out. I am struggling with light where they are, evenings the sun is directly behind and on a morning the sun never quite scratches the hole...well placed it is for keeping cool. So ISO1600 on the 7D to get the needed 1/1000sec....yes when they feed they move alot. Having great fun watching, and listening, to them. :toast:

Now that's better!
Only thing missing is the eye of the adult bird, but I'm sure you'll have that fixed with the next shot
