Second chick has hatched at nest #1 of Satakunnan sääkset.
The new baby finished hatching early this morning. Here the egg shell has cracked open into two halves, but the little one has yet to crawl out from under it. 2-day-old sibling wobbling around in front of it steals the show.
Dad with the chicks, mom standing at the edge of the nest. A bit inconvenient spot the parents picked for that one piece of lichen, but the chicks are still mostly visible. The older sibling who can already hold its head up is demanding breakfast, and the new hatchling is getting acquainted with gravity, having fallen over onto its back (head is next to the still unhatched third egg).
Siblings waiting for a brooding shift change together.
