I walked into the CCTV room at Easter Anguston yesterday morning and was delighted to see a bird standing on the nest. I moved closer to the screen and was amazed to see it was a chick not an adult!
The 2 chicks are being left on their own a lot more now, with mum (wingtag 25) only coming in during the frequent rain showners. During one particularly violent hail storm yesterday, she dutifully sat over them for nearly an hour. She got soaked herself and with the chicks obviously moving around underneath her it musn't have been that comfy!
