Unknown said:FB Post from Rutland Osprey project "We are aware that earlier this morning a fish was brought back to the nest and accidentally flapped on top of the chicks and the remaining egg. Unfortunately, we have noticed that one of the chicks is has been left exposed and uncovered, and we are unsure if the remaining egg has been damaged. We are monitoring the situation closely and we will of course keep you updated throughout the day."
Thank you AG , much appreciated. I hope you'll understand me being unable to ''like'' your post
Thank you for passing on the msg from ROP, AG :)

I'm afraid that the other is doomed, it has been exposed the whole time.

Maya went straight back to sleep after that feed - she's definitely "not right", let's hope it's a transitory problem.

Me too Patiily
The rain is set to continue for another 3 or 4 hours This is too awful for words
Thank you for the hopeful weather forecast,, PATILY :)
I was thinking of Lady, too - hoping that Blue33 would do a Laird and feed Maya and thus revive her - that was before she suddenly recovered for a while.
