I realised from Tiger and chloes Clocks this nest was ready to hatch.
and wondered if others have been watching?
Ooh just peeked in and chick is alone on nest.
Oh!!! Nooooo!!!! not again, phew! Kl sitting now 15.14 so hope there is a chick underneath.
Mum is doing as you wish Jane (feeding chick up)
Mum accidentally dropped a large bit under chicks nose, and waited, but she quickly retrieved it to make it smaller bite size. Doh!!

Good afternoon all. Horrified to read of the news of the loss of 2 chicks :(( I felt angry but they are doing just what nature intends. I just hope the remaining chick is safe. Shocking news :( I still admire magpies though there seems to be so many lately.
Sad to see the news of two chicks being taken, hope the remaining one does ok.
What ARE these birds playing at!!!
Again empty nest, KL back at 19.46. not sure how long away.
19.43
19.46

Looks so vulnerable, won't last long if they don't up their parenting skills :(

Good to know there's still a chick. I'm keeping everything crossed!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
