Looks like a dull day in the nest box.

Feeding time.

[Tilly2]

Such beautiful birds! That chick is hungry. :-)

[melv16]

I noticed earlier that its crop was empty.

[Tilly2]

It isn't now.

[Tilly2]

Wibble-Wobble.

[Tilly2]

Bedtime.

[ladybirder]

Gosh it's very windy there, worse than it's been here.
She'd better hang on tight to that baby. Such a privilege to be able to watch them.

[Tilly2]

It is, LB.

the search function on AB is wonderful ! is prtty crap actually BUT you can search for one word

'Saker' I thought wd bring up your last posts and it has if you try it.

If you search for 'foo' or 'what vat ven' - then you get thousands to wade through.

and many thanks for the info - this thread will come up forever on search word 'wibble' BUT er you have to remember them!

[Peter Pedant]

fantastic, many thanks

[ladybirder]

Chick is on its own again. Still very windy there.

[ladybirder]

I'm guessing such a strong wind might make it harder for the parents to catch a meal for the chick? Am I right?

[ladybirder]

Still on its own.

[ladybirder]

I've been posting on the other thread. Really worried about this chick now.

Sorry same thread.

[melv16]

One of the adults won't be far away and it had a good feed yesterday, LB. Prey doesn't seem to be plentiful, hence, only one chick.

[ladybirder]

So relieved to read your post melv thank you. I thought we might have the horror of seeing it starve to death.

[melv16]

Judging by the size of the chicks crop I don't think its been fed today. Its been home alone most of the day.
