Hi, everyone! Bad end on the Latvian nest-
The male has been absent since August 9th; the female brought one meal on each of two days. Then she, too, stayed away.
Everything depends on the availability of food. If supplementary feeding is provided—as is the case here—there is a good chance of a positive outcome.
Late broods continue into September if there is enough food.
I think, the little ones won't survive, even though they are now ready to fledge. They didn't have time to explore their surroundings.
And where the parents can't find anything, the chicks won't find anything either.

fingers crossed very, very much - it is hard to be optimistic .... I remember well what scenario Dr.Strazds wrote in 2021
