Dienas atskaite
August 24: an early duet then Dad brought in a whiting at 6:39, grabbed by Lady and feeding. SE33 was aggressive, pecking at SE33. Dad bought another whiting in very quickly. Lady fed them several times, with 33 eating most. Then at 8:28 Dad came in, ate a little himself then fed the chicks as Lady was brooding them. He then fed Lady as well as she sat there. The chicks were covered, but it appeared that SE34 ate well. Lady then fed them a few more times, with SE33 again pecking at 34 – though he did eventually get a good feed while 33 was full and asleep. Before midday they had 9 feeds, and both were sleeping with Lady brooding. Maybe some light rain and it was windy. Dad came in, ate a bit and then fed them from 13:32, mainly 34. We can see pin feathers on 34 now too. Lady was then brooding them in the wind. She was off again, then back late afternoon, near the nest and calling – for Dad? She was off then returned to the nest just before 6pm at dark and settled. Then Dad brought in a late fish – and she fed again.
24. augusts: agrs duets, tad tētis pulksten 6:39 atveda merlangu, ko lēdija satvēra un baro. SE33 bija agresīvs, knābājot pa SE34. Tētis ļoti ātri atnesa vēl vienu merlangu. Dāma tos baroja vairākas reizes, un 33 ēda visvairāk. Tad pulksten 8:28 ienāca tētis, pats mazliet paēda, pēc tam pabaroja cāļus. Cāļi bija piesegti, un se 34 bija labi paēdis. Pēc tam lēdija tos pabaroja vēl dažas reizes, SE33 un se34 galu galā saņēma labu barību, kamēr 33 bija paēdis un gulēja. Pirms pusdienlaika viņiem bija 9 ēdienreizes, un abi gulēja ar lēdiju. Uznāca neliels lietus un vējš. Ienāca tētis, mazliet paēda un tad no 13:32 pabaroja, galvenokārt se 34. Arī tagad uz 34 varam redzēt pin spalvas. Viņa atkal bija prom, tad atgriezās vēlā pēcpusdienā, netālu no ligzdas un sauca – pēc tēta? Viņa bija prom, pēc tam atgriezās ligzdā īsi pirms pulksten 18:00 tumsā un apmetās. Tad tētis atnesa vēlu zivi – un viņa atkal baroja.
