:hi: IceAge

thank you so much for all your work and the pictures. Life is developing so quickly in this nest box compared to Black Storks or Ospreys which I usually am watching. The starling parents have to be very busy. And I think it is a very small apartment for this rather big family, but the nest is looking cosy and warm.

:wave: Good Night :offtobed:

I think the weather is bad and therefore not a good day to leave the nest box.

Thank you, I have now read it on the homepage :slap: .

There were 6 eggs in this nest, but 5 chicks can be seen ... Didn't 1 egg hatch or did the chick die?

Hello AnzaK71,

The camera always stops for a few seconds (as it does every morning). Probably not enough light.

The last chick left the nest box. I wish the little ones all the best.
