Dad taking breakfast today ….good views again today but sad news I’m afraid ….. yesterday the egg was unattended for 3 hours and last night for 8 hours ….!!! The resilience of the pair is incredible given what they have been through this year ….but at 19 days old for the egg Mum has given up with it but you can see the lament as she sits nearby or visits the egg without sitting. Dad has not accepted the situation quite yet and is still taking his turn and is perplexed that she does not . We have to accept now that the egg is no longer viable .
When you think of the success rate of this site you can only celebrate the 76 chicks fledged in the 22 years before . I am now looking forward with a positive mind to the 2025 season …..!!!!
