Fortunately they didn't take the food back to the nest and the three chicks were found, checked by a vet, and fostered to other nests.Two to the Midlands and the smaller male to Salisbury. Had never heard of this before and surprised they were accepted by their new parents. I only hope the full force of the law is thrown at the perpetrators if they are ever found.<br /><br />Yes sad about the Nottingham chick, I always worry when they start wandering along the ledge and the very high winds over the last few days could well have been a contributory cause. Thank goodness ours are a little behind this season but will soon be getting more adventurous by the day I guess.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-87589591375703822952017-06-07T23:45:43.272+01:002017-06-07T23:45:43.272+01:00Very sad for Nottingham & sincerely hope no mo...Very sad for Nottingham & sincerely hope no more tragedies this season!<br />ITM some joy from our three chicks practising this evening ... https://youtu.be/qC7FsCi9FUQWendy Bartterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891296276992569703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-49643854700202106782017-06-07T08:30:21.106+01:002017-06-07T08:30:21.106+01:00Aww still so cute, i keep stopping by and checking...Aww still so cute, i keep stopping by and checking on them :-)<br /><br />Some very sad news coming out of Nottingham yesterday evening that one of the chicks was killed on the road below :-( Its believed it is one of the girls, they had just started to fly about. Not sure if it had something to do with the strong winds and weather we have been having. Either way its totally devastating.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-31453861786474663832017-06-06T23:45:56.742+01:002017-06-06T23:45:56.742+01:00Our chicks are getting a late evening feed ... htt...Our chicks are getting a late evening feed ... https://youtu.be/iok1qsrav0sWendy Bartterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891296276992569703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-57268656762875782062017-06-06T18:10:52.155+01:002017-06-06T18:10:52.155+01:00A parent just flew in with prey.

Just over night I see a big difference in the adult feathers coming in. We will soon be calling them juveniles.

I notice they spend more time on the slate side than other years. Other years it seems they mostly went over there when there were a bit bigger unless mom was sitting on the edge over there. There remember the little guy with the 3 big sisters? He used to go sit behind mom as I think he felt better protected.Vickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-74662291589744822682017-06-05T13:50:36.858+01:002017-06-05T13:50:36.858+01:00Phew.

As it's colder today they are probably sticking quite close together, which makes it a bit trickier to see them individually.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256423040507698707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-55452756371733891172017-06-05T12:26:57.041+01:002017-06-05T12:26:57.041+01:00EEEK!

Also had to laugh at the nighttime goings on, just like naughty children refusing to go to sleep.<br /><br />Chicks in slate area at moment and mum in attendance, with large amount of feathers in other part of nursery so indicates they've had a good breakfast.
