Thank you, Ferenz, for this nice bobble head pic. But this telephone cable could be very dangerous.
Stupid humans to throw everything away.

Thank you Ferenz for all the updates and infos
Here is the answer for this thing from Osprey Pink Shell wich Lucy brought in:
The "snake skin" looking item is an egg casing to the Lightning Whelk seashell. They commonly wash up on our beach.


First feeding and Lucy was fish catching to feed the little one

Lucy deliver stick and it was a bit scary to watch but on the end the stick was placed and this was the last seen from Ricky today on nest!

I can not understand ,what is going on this nest on Pinkshell with Lucy and Ricky
Last late evening,Lucy went fishing,come back and Ricky to fly in.
Fish fight between parents.Lucy didn`t give up her fish.
She was eaten by herself and no feeding the chick.
The chick hatched Feb29,first and last feeding was in the afternoon march1 and Lucy have catched this fish too.
Ricky didn`t deliver any food!Only march2 parents were alert and defending by mantle the nest.
If this goes on, the only one chick will be dead.The other 2eggs showing no sign for hatch yet.
Now it is 08:32.Both parents were on nest for a hour.
Now Lucy on nest!
