Caught this video clip today 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Every year without fail, a pair of Ravens nest in the old West tower at Ormond Castle. For the last couple of weeks we have been waiting to see how many chicks were hatched .
In the last couple of days we noticed the chicks are starting to become more mobile and definitely more vocal.😊
The short clip shows a Mammy doing what Mammy does best....feeding the kids 🪱🪱
