The female is sitting on at least 1 egg in addition to the abandoned saker egg.

Thanks Melv.

[melv16]

2 eggs as far I can see. Could be more?

[melv16]

1 chick seen just now, could be 2.

[melv16]

Just the 1 chick this year.

Thanks for the update melv.

[Tilly2]

Has the chick been fed recently, Melv?

[melv16]

Don't know, tilly. I've only seen one adult on the scrape.

[melv16]

Adult missing for about 3/4hr. Returns without any prey.
Prognosis ain't very good as this could be a lone parent:-(

[Tilly2]

Aw! That's sad.

[melv16]

Good news! The other adult has turned up (off camera of course) but didn't transfer any food. Both were calling frantically.

[melv16]

Chick being fed now. The other adult must have stashed it behind the camera.

[Tilly2]

Missed the feed! Can you do playback on the video?

[melv16]

I'll have a look, tilly.

[Tilly2]

Thank you.

[melv16]

I've had a go on the site and on Facebook with no luck.

[Tilly2]

Never mind. Thanks for trying.

[ladybirder]

I've just tried and can't do it. I hope melv does better than me.

[Tilly2]

He didn't, LB. :-)

[Tilly2]

Chick home alone.

[ladybirder]

Shugar. I've just looked on YouTube and no luck there either. Never mind there's always tomorrow, we hope!
