The chicks are thriving at the moment, I can notice a great difference within 24 hours. Unfortunately we are down to four chicks. When I checked on Saturday night there was one lying outside the nest and was barely breathing, and was dead by morning. Strangely, this time the carcass wasn't removed, why ? I don't know; perhaps it was too big to get through the nest hole. If you look on the left hand side of the screen you may be able to make it out.

I hope next time they will build a bigger nest.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too as it is getting rather crowded as they grow.
