The resident male at this nest continues to be FT, born at de Mortel in 2009, a son of Pa and S2. His Belgian mate remains unidentified, as far as I know.

Yesterday she laid her first egg:





Last year, she laid four eggs and all four hatched. However, the female decided she would not raise four chicks, and refused to feed one of the chicks. This was a bright, active, beautiful little chick who just wanted to be fed and grow up. She would drag this little one away from the nest. Dad would come in and try to feed the chick, and bring the chick back to the nest. In the end, the female won, and the little chick died.  Sad

There have been too many mean females out there lately.

Yesterday morning, March 8, 2018, the first egg was visible at the nest. The female spent the night in the nest, and the egg may have been laid some time during the night.

The male here is still FT, born at de Mortel in 2009, a son of Pa and S2. His Belgian mate is still the resident female. Last year they had three chicks, and all fledged successfully.
