To the milestones .. there was a quite a lot of feeding from the hole today, normally a sign that they are close to fledging, but I would suggest that this is still a good few days off. The major milestone though, is that for the first time, Dora has decided that the chicks are now old enough to be left alone, and has not returned to roost them tonight .. Party time !!!

31st May 2013
Day 13 .. Well we seem to have reached a milestone today ... First of all some sad news ... as you can see we now have 6 toughie chicks and Tiny ! I've not been able to confirm the full complement of 10 chicks for a while, and suspected that a couple may have perished, even though I've not seen Dora take any dead chicks out. So fingers crossed that the remaining 7 make it to the end, including Tiny.
