This top photograph of the nest was taken this morning (29thNovember 2014)

This nest of my Pied BC contained 5 eggs -three of the eggs have hatched, only one more egg is fertile.

After I downloaded the photograph into my picture folder I candled the photo using the two methods I use.

Photos:

1. The above photo cropped to show position of one of the chicks

2. photo 1. candled using the first sequence I used to candle the eggs

3. photo 2. cropped to enlarge image.

4. photo 3. candled using the new sequence.

5. photo 4. cropped to enlarge image.

I've found it interesting comparing the two methods used so I thought I'd share it with you.
