Good! Full crop...
thanks jazzel and Judy b and jkr
looks like temps in the mid 20C and clear skies for a few days.
Hopefully good fishing...
and that dad will start building up the nest to keep Cherry in!

back to the garden! in the sun!

More FOOD! did not see who brought it.

4:16 pm
Mom is doing a lot of chattering and Cherry is RIGHT ON THE RIM ! I can't bare to watch while she's laying there


4:44 pm
I wish Mom would spend more time home with Cherry instead of flying off so often.
Cherry is making her way around the nest but at least she's not quite as close to the edge now.


4:46 pm
Oh no, she just crossed over that stick to get closer to the rim. She's chirping and seems to be watching for Mom.

4:54 pm
Mom brought home a fish this time.
Cherry is eating but I have no idea where she's putting it because she still had a big crop from earlier today.

Cherry and Mom near the center of the nest. Soft chirping from Cherry...she seems to want Mom to brood her..moves forward but the Mom just moves backwards. She leans down now and then to 'peck' at ? flies ?.
Now mom has moved to the rim away from the chick.
I think she has no idea how to care for Cherry.. At least they both have had food today.
from here. I keep hoping things will improve..:blink:
Thank you for all the news,pics and videos.

Goodnight macdoum
