Amazing

Three raven chicks (around 1 day old)
It seemed as a bit of a shock to all three of us, Rickard, None and me. But there it was, a tiny, pink lump of life - early yesterday morning. By the evening there were two, and this morning three - and still three eggs to go. Beautiful, turquoise eggs, sheltering theese little helpless creatures, that only in a few weeks will have grown almost as big as their parents.

I was a bit worried that the first-time-parents shouldn't get the feeding right - and still it is to early to know. But two of the small chicks have already survived their first night, and it is amazing to witness None gently feed her young. I am grateful that she allows us, so I will not overdo the photographing.
