Just been past on the bus, and one of the adults was sat at the top of the nest box - probably not visible on the webcam but certainly should be visible from the ground.

Little one in Notts just mistook the parents leg for the pigeon and tried de feathering it

Sheff chics are out but only 3 of them. having a go at feeding from the pigeon themselves, not even seen Notts ones do this and they are a bit older.

My partners been watching the live feed for about the last hour and a half, he's getting a bit concerned that neither parent birds have been near the nest. Is this normal for them to leave them for so long?

Yes, it's fine. Now they're big enough to survive without being sat on all day, the parents don't visit the nest itself much except to feed the chicks; but that doesn't mean they're absent. They'll be just a short distance away on the church tower, keeping a very keen eye on anything approaching the nest area - take a look at the photos from last year of the adults seeing off an osprey for example.
