12 eggs started hatching on Monday 8th May 2023, one egg did not hatch and six chicks have not survived so far. This is more than likely due to the female parent having been missing since 16th of May. She would have helped to bring more food into the nest and have widened the nest bowl so as to stop chicks from piling up on each other.
This is a livestream from the wifi box featured on the channel earlier this year. As such it might be a little unstable and this is all a bit of an experiment. The livestream will not run through the night.
Please bear with us while we explore this new bit of technology.
The side view box, used in previous years, is all set up for smoother live-streaming but unfortunately none of the birds visiting the garden have decided to nest in it this year.
