I think the moment she laid must be in the playback. She spent a lot of time just getting the nest cup just right.

Oh wow, like Ann I looked earlier and saw no sign. Obviously she had hidden it well. This is one speedy pair. Very exciting. Sue

Looks as though incubation may have started in box 2 . Let’s hope all goes well. Sue

Little chicks are shouting for food I’ve been watching for a good ten mins and not seen any feeding in that time hope mum isn’t on her own shes come in and just keeping them warm and seems to be waiting around for Mr to come along and help out😕or she still thinks she is sitting on eggs no feeding going on for last twenty mins
😮💨 I seen her bring a tiny bit in she came back again with no food and just sat on them she doesn’t seem to know what to do must be first timer its a bit of a worry to watch I hope she gets the hang of it soon I’ve been watching for an hour appears to be an unlatched egg remaining

Yeah, this happened with mine on first day Ann. I was worried but by 2nd and third day they were feeding fine, so I did see the male bring in food this morning and she gave it to the chicks, so there is a male about. Sue ps don’t forget this is your box

Hi Sue That is good to know,hopefully they will get busy tomorrow, I will pop in and out to see what is happening Oh yes I did claim box 2 im good at sharing 😊 im watching now seems a bit busier now Hi Ann, On the playback at 12 noon there were definitely 2 unhatched eggs so maybe mum is unsure whether to still incubate those or get on with feeding the ones that have hatched. Hope dad put in a bit more of an appearance to help out though. Sue

Yes that was one of my theories as well Sue I’m just watching the nest now it’s not looking to good to me It’s been very cold for them (I’m thinking everyone has the cold wind and grey day the last two days as we have had it’s only reached about 15/16 but is cold )no sunshine at all just before 12 food was brought in several times but taken away

Watching now Ann, very very sad outcome. Really shocked, I was hoping for a good late outcome for this box Sue

Having said that Ann, something has happened as they seem to have perked up. They have their gapes wide and asking to be fed. One adult bringing in food, but seems too big 🤷♀️. Hope this sorts out successfully. Sue

So sad it looks like the chicks are not going to make it, I have just checked up on them and there is no feeding going on looking at the playback and they appear to be gasping and there was a fly in there with them, I think the mother may have given up

So awful to see this. I have been keeping an eye on the progress but couldn't see any adults this morning. Such a shame

So very sad to witness. This box has been up one minute and down the next. Wonder just what has gone wrong. Kept looking in yesterday and didn’t see a parent at all, and now the flies crawling over them is heartbreaking . Absolutely gutted to see this outcome. Sue
