“As winter’s grip loosened and spring arrived, the eggs began to hatch. This image shows a nest containing three, begging their parent for the first meal of the day. At this time of year I had to be on site at 5am to capture the first rays of light hitting the nest. Often, as the morning wore on and the light grew more harsh, the chicks became less active and spent large amounts of time asleep in the nest”.
