FOULSHAW MOSS, & ALL LAKE DISTRICT NEST OBSERVATIONS MARCH 2021 TO END FEB 2022

It is lovely to see 3 healthy chicks, a bit of a rarity on this years webcam nests.

Great to see that all are developing properly, including little chick #3

#3 wasn't doing well at all at feedings this morning, but got a couple of bites the second one.

And Blue35 went doolally when she covered the chicks in straw:

I'm still looking thru for some positive footage, but #3 cuts a pathetic little figure to this soppy viewer.

SCYLLA #3 is 15 days old I don't think it would have made it thus far if it wasn't get enough to eat
Currently they are alone on the nest and each in their own patcharound the nest

Scylla, I've looked in a couple of times over the last couple of days and No 3 has been the only chick being fed, while the other 2 are doing other things, so it seems to be getting plenty

Thank you, PATILY and RICHARD.  I must have got an eye for the negative

Well here's negative - what a shock and positive:

That looked painful for No 3, but at least it's crop looked pretty full at the end. It was refusing food which normally means its had enough.

Gosh, I've only just clocked this nest and the size difference in chick 3. Everything crossed.

Looks a good feeding day for Wee Bob today.
