Unfortunately, we found another dead chick beneath one of the nests. So that's 3 (that I know of) out of a possible 9 chicks gone *insert sad face here*.
I didn't spy any of the live chicks this morning, but all of the male Tawnies are still sitting on the nest, so I can only assume that the chicks are still there, growing and maturing. I'll be checking every day!
Tomorrow, I have an idea for #11 Faces, on my list for the 104 photography group October challenge, so I need to be out and about nice an early - I may even attempt a sunrise.
Now that I think about it, I have three reasons to be out bright and early. The third reason is to catch sight of an African Parrot that is, apparently, on the loose in our town and has been sighted in the early mornings at a couple of locations that I can access.
I think I will need to be very lucky to spot him, but you never know your luck. There's always a chance.
I tried this recipe tonight and I can highly recommend it! Absolutely delicious. So delicious, that I ate what was left in the salad bowl, after I finished my dinner!
