Marion Nash Reports:

June 26th 2016
Dave started the watch on Sunday morning and although it was very hot it was also very windy so it helped. He could only see 2 chicks in the nest and was concerned that we may have had one go already but could not see one anywhere else.
When Mark and I arrived in the early afternoon it was still very windy and we could see the adults fighting the wind just to land on the top of the building. We also only saw 2 chicks at a t time but I know they do play whack a mole up there on the ledge and pop up and down so we may only be seeing 1 or 2 at a time.

Lyn fed the chicks a tidbit of food in the late afternoon and soon after one of them started flapping it wings in the edge of the nest ledge and the wind blew it off. It flapped like mad and Lyn took to the air to assist. It hooked around to the front of the building and landed on the stone ledge safely.

The other 2 chicks got fed again just after 6:00 PM and stayed put until Mark and I called it quits at dusk.
