day 29, or -15?!
Sad and promising developments in the barn last days, I must conclude one of the juveniles died. Thursday was the last day I counted 4;
But as you can see on the picture, new nest material is being added and long horsetail? hairs are visible. I saw the female several times on the nest and last days the 3 remaining juvs are sometimes sleeping elsewhere, they may have been chased from the nest by the female.
I am hopefully concluding that they are preparing for a second clutch!!
Meanwhile I enjoyed the spectacular ending of the Tour with many "chass-patats", "geparkeerd staan", "jasjes uitdoen", "vierkant fietsen", "plakbidons" and "die zit nu om zijn moeder te roepen"
The cat also likes watching the Tour from the couch;
And passed my nautical exam yesterday!
RIP Amy & Oslo
