allikat:
It looks like 1R/2O is getting a good rest...hopefully.
Not a great time for this to happen when there are 4 new chicks.
Out of our control, but it's nature.
As I have written, nature is beautiful, but can be cruel at the same time.

burdi:
I hope for a better day tomorrow as well. VV continues to do absolutely everything she can to help these chicks survive - while all this fighting has been going on. I’m so proud of her.

burdi:
Allikat, I saw 2O back on the ledge at 02:35, looking a little shell-shocked. He then went into the box and is still sitting there quietly. Poor 2O … of course I am happy to see him … but hope he is not injured. I did see 2 falcons flying while VV was in the nest and 2O on the ledge, but not sure if the cams were in sync. At this point I do not know for sure if he was attacked repeatedly by 1 falcon or more.

allikat:
I just had a peak at the cam and 1R/2O is inside.
Protecting his family/nestbox/territory no doubt.
I saw the videos - Was it 1 Falcon or 2 attacking him today?
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.....

burdi:
A new video was added on BDL called “Trammelant!” (by Aaltje) which you may want to view. It shows a few of the numerous attacks 2O was dealing with.

Poor 2O (1R) was very distressed  :(, and not at all interested in the remaining food.
