They hatched - Page 2

Thanks all the same Skybird, I do believe these are good quality optics, they're from a German based company, and they're only avaiable aroud X-mas time, I believe it's during the company's sweeps, they put their scopes on sale; they have somewhat of a cult following in the UK because they are of good craftmanship (full weather seal, high grade lenses) and not at all expensive, about 150-200E for a scope and metal tripod + accessories... total bargain for a begginer's scope

Ha, a minute ago to my surprise I was able to observe not just 3 or 4 but FIVE feathery snowballs turning their hungry beaks towards their mother. Not only is the fourth chick alive and well, but their log says that yesterday indeed a fifth chick has hatched. I wonder if that fifth one has a realistic chance though, since it lacks behind in time. On the other hand, they do have plenty of food indeed.

Another one has hatched, the sixth - and last - one.

Now that the chicks enter the last quarter of their lifetime inside the box, I just want to bring it back to your awareness. All six chicks have survived so far, and are healthy and strong. They are now in a stage where they are even bigger than their parents. I estimate them to leave the box in a week. What makes me sad, since I used to have a look at them every day's morning and evening...

A small collection of pics illustrating their way from egg to current day can be found her, it is the socalled falcon diary and documents this years chicks:

They got leg-rings two days ago.

How many eggs were there at first?

Six. All survived.
