So, last Sunday (July 13th), they finally hatched. It seems there were about 9 eggs, out of which five made it down to the harbor very fast, i.e. within about 1 hour after their mother starting calling them from down. The mother was swimming in the harbor and calling them to jump down.

Looking at the three British dailies, editors favour countries that are bigger and more populous, but also closer to home and better developed. They also give more room to the countries of origin of British immigrants, especially if they are white (look at the size of Australia and New-Zealand). Hardly surprising, but still disheartening, especially when you consider that the only brand that does not advocate objectivity, The Economist, covers the world more equally.
