Netherlands / De Mortel - 2015 / Pa & Miep-VieVie

<< < (2/24) > >>

Alison:
Two males, one female, and the fourth chick is probably female, although she has fairly small feet.

And now they are all together in one corner, with an adult on the platform.

Alison:
The chicks have been banded, and were returned to the nest a few minutes ago. Only two are visible on cam at the moment. I hope the other two are in the other corner, but would like to see all of them to be sure.

While the chicks were out of the nest, the leftovers and debris were removed from the nest and the camera lens was cleaned. Haven't seen Miep-VV back at the nest yet.

burdi:
If you're able to watch, the chicks are about to be ringed any minute now.

allikat:
Yes...After a rocky start, with several males in and out of the picture, Miep/VV has become quite a remarkable Mother.
...and VM, I think, has finally got it.  ::) as he is bringing in prey to take care of his growing family.
It's been fun watching VM learn the ropes.

susha:
Looks like VM is now behaving like a parent, trying to brood the growing chicks and bringing in dinner and feeding them :)

Things are looking up for this family!
