This afternoon, I went for a ride. I had to visit the 'Shell Man' briefly and then I rode down to the beach. There was a lady there feeding some pelicans. She had some carcasses of the fish that she had caught earlier in the day.
It was the highlight of my day ... until I discovered that the Brahminy Kite chick in the nest is still being cared for!
Last week, one of the older Brahminy Kites fell dead out of the nest, onto the road. The man who lives in the house under the tree had told me that there was a chick in the nest and I was sure that it would die without the older bird to care for it.
This afternoon, I watched a Brahminy Kite in the tree opposite the nest as he ate some food and then flew over to the nest. I could hear the chick making noises! Such a relief :)
So all is right in my Brahminy world again :)
Nite all
