Return of the ‘Missing’ Youngster.
There were scenes of celebration in the RSPB tent yesterday. For a couple of days nobody had seen all four chicks at once as the young birds apparently hid beneath the nest camera from the baking sun. Suddenly at 2pm whilst Dad was feeding three of the youngsters a fourth chick appeared to everyone’s relief, and even some cheering! Two Common Buzzards were dramatically repelled by Mum at lunchtime, and later on a Red Kite went unharrassed as it lazily passed the Cathedral. All quiet otherwise.
