Nest Activity Log 27/06/2026

00:00 – 12:11 – Parent Presence: Kergu remained in the nest, brooding and guarding the single chick since the previous night. No morning feeding was observed during this period.

12:11 – Parent Change & Feeding: Kerli arrived at the nest and Kergu departed. She delivered a batch of medium-sized fish, and the chick ate well.

14:22 – Parent Change: Kergu returned to the nest to take over guarding duties, and Kerli departed.

15:31 – Feeding: Kergu successfully fed the chick.

---
The single chick is growing rapidly and developing well, though observers noted it spent significant time resting alone during long guarding shifts.
Concerns were raised by the community in the evening regarding Kerli's prolonged absence after her midday shift.
