Those are great. I can never get refreshed pictures so I'm always glad to see pictures posted.
Female has left again . Maybe hungry and ants her turn to eat. Chick is lying on the egg but that darn half prey is still there.

Hehe..I thought the same thing about mom talking to her little one! I wish she had a sibling too but mom is being good and she lets her lean up against her breast alot. I was wondering about the 'meal' as well, first I thought nah it's probably a wing like last time until I saw a foot sticking out :-X
I saw a feeding last night before I went to bed and her little crop was so full she fell over..so we don't have to worry that she's not eating enough that's for sure :D

I still am puzzled why some of you are not getting refreshed images. I wish I could get there and figure it out for you.
We are having a lot of rain. Yesterday we had a sunny but cooler day but had rain in the evening . today it a cool morning and we are expecting periods of rain for the rest of the week
A few pictures from yesterday
She /he is doing well an dis moving around a lot. something in my heart wishes she had a sibling to keep her company.
A few pictures of her different poses and one of the male babysitting and of course a feed.
this morning when I checked in I found the F with the chick and the prey at centre nest. I must have missed a feed and I am thinking she is waiting for the male before she takes the prey out(as is her pattern) as it is cooler to leave the chick . Remember I am not a biologist, I am just surmising by normal patterns
so as I am typing F leaves with one half of prey and chick is alone but has a good crop. what do I know :) :) Now an adult just appeared and is on inside perch looking in . this is mom
Chick is making its was over to mom she is still on the perch(I call the ledge of the box an inside perch in case you are wondering)
Well she did take out half of the prey and my guess is it is killing her to leave that other half there and it will be gone before long
I think the chick is in front of her now

She is a cute ball of fluff..or he is..guess we'll have to wait a few more weeks to find that out! She's my new desktop pal, the guy who sits behind me at work thinks I've lost my mind because I'm always cooing to her.. ;D
