Day 42.

Bush eggs: none. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: full. Weather: a blustery, trying day.

Steve had a rough night last night, as you would expect. She wishes she’d never had chicks and exposed herself to the vulnerability you feel being a mother.

She stayed in the nest the whole day. The only way we got the remaining chick out to scratch was by promising to surround it in a protective circle.

The weather didn’t help and everyone’s nerves were frayed.
