A few days ago only 4 healthy chicks remained but they were growing
well. Today they were dead – cause unknown.
The adults were still present and looking after the box, so could have
been disease.

Two chicks were running
freely with pin feathers – one found dead today.
|
The larger healthy chick was ringed, number FA81541. There were some Herring
Gulls loafing around so the dead chick might be a result of an attempt at predation.
