Pēdējā dienā bijis nepieredzēti vēss un lietains laiks, kas vēlāk gan noskaidrojies. Tika atnests liela un mazāka papagaiļa, un strazda medījums ... un kaut kas nenosakāms un acīmredzami mazuļiem negaršīgs (bojāts).
Viņa domā, ka mazuļu reakcija bija adekvāta situācijā, kad mamma atlidoja bez ēdamā (kas nav brīnums tādā laikā), un mamma mazos "nolika pie vietas".
Intriģējoša bija Ksavjēra rīcība. Liekas, ka viņš mēģina pārliecināt mazuļus uzsākt lidot. Cilla saka, ka viņa neatceras kādu citu pieaugušo, mātīti vai tēviņu, šādi rīkojamies agrākos gadus.

It’s been unseasonably cold and wet today, but brightening this afternoon. Prey included a parrot, a galah and a starling but an unidentified blob that the youngsters were clearly not impressed with (spoilt!).
I had a look at the ‘incident’ this morning, but it didn’t seem to be much more than a rather over-the-top ‘nag’ after Diamond arrived empty-handed (not surprisingly, considering the weather at the time) and perhaps she put him in his place.
Also intriguing was the flypast by Xavier. I may have missed some of these as they were quite quick, but here is one this afternoon where X does appear to be trying to persuade the youngsters to leave. It’s interesting as I don’t remember any of our adults, male or female, exhibiting this behaviour before.
