15.augusts
Dienas atskaite no Ranger Judy
August 15: all very wet on the nest early. The chicks have taken on colour from the leaves as well as bits of flesh and dirt – really grotty. Lady fed them very early before 6am and shortly after as well. There was some pecking from SE333, but with later feeds SE34 seemed to have eaten some. Both looked more content. Dad fed them for a short time at 9:21, more feeds from Lady and then he took a turn at brooding just before midday. Lady then sat for a long time from just after 12 until 13:46 – then away again. Dad came to the nest, fed himself, until Lady returned briefly, then off again. Chicks were hoping Dad had food. – but no and he left them alone again. Then he returned, though left them uncovered – the rain has eased. Finally he brooded after they had been uncovered for 1h42m. He left and Lady came in with a scrap of old chicken just after 4pm and fed them both peacefully. Then at 17:04 a pigeon, or other bird – which Lady prepped and then brought back to feed both – peacefully. After the weather cleared, they have been left uncovered a long time today – 6h44m. All then settled for the night.
15. augusts: ligzdā agri viss ļoti slapjš. Cāļi ir ieguvuši krāsu no lapām, kā arī mīkstuma un netīrumu gabaliņiem - patiešām rupji. Dāma tos baroja ļoti agri pirms pulksten 6:00 un arī neilgi pēc tam. Nedaudz knābienu tika no SE333, bet ar vēlākām padevēm SE34 šķita, ka to ir apēdis. Abi izksatījās paēduši. Tētis īsu brīdi viņus pabaroja pulksten 9:21, vairāk baroja lēdija, un pēc tam viņš īsi pirms pusdienlaika pabaroja. Pēc tam kundze sēdēja ilgu laiku no pulksten 12 līdz 13:46 – pēc tam atkal prom. Tētis pienāca pie ligzdas, pabaroja pats, līdz lēdija uz īsu brīdi atgriezās, pēc tam atkal aizgāja. Cāļi cerēja, ka tētim būs ēdiens. – bet nē un viņš atkal atstāja viņus vienus. Tad viņš atgriezās, lai gan atstāja tos nesegtus - lietus ir mazinājies. Beidzot viņš prātoja pēc tam, kad tie bija atklāti 1h42min. Viņš aizgāja, un lēdija ienāca ar vecas vistas paliekām, tikai pēc pulksten 16:00 un mierīgi pabaroja abus. Pēc tam pulksten 17:04 balodis vai cits putns, kuru dāma sagatavoja un pēc tam atnesa, lai abus mierīgi pabarotu. Pēc laikapstākļu noskaidrošanās tie šodien ir palikuši nesegti ilgu laiku – 6h44m. Pēc tam viss nokārtojās uz nakti.
