Hi all
Well the three Chicks were still there when I got home yesterday.
But I noticed some new behaviour from Mother...she would tease them with food by putting it to their beaks but then pull it back...and leave the box still with the food.
I saw her do this a number of times...
Did she hope they would follow her out?
They are definitely very big and crowed in the box now...I believe today is definitely the day now.
I haven't been out yet this morning - they may even be gone!
Here is a little video of Foxy. Clearly very busy on important fox business.
