18.36 - a bird flew near the nest and the chicks froze


I tried the enlarged image, but it's quite blurry, you can't tell anything from it

18.38 - danger - probably an unknown bird approached the nest and the chicks took a defensive position

[Adria]

Perhaps this is a buzzard?





Sitting there on the upper corner.

18.44 - bird flew away and the chicks calmed down


7192 is still tense, probably doesn't feel well

[Madli]

One chick even threw up food. That must've been a lot of stress to them.

Here is the video of the event, with slow motion.

[Adria]

19.19 - chicks are playing with the fish and have scattered them all over the nest

[Adria]

7192 is training, he is obviously much better
