Ring number 4 was at the vet last week. He has had antibiotics and is making a recovery. It was really tricky getting the medication into him but we seem to have managed. He was really quite ill, fitting and looking pretty bad so it's a huge improvement. He's in isolation for now until I am sure he can't infect anyone else.

The singleton's parents have just hatched their first chick of their nest. I had tried to rest her but she was going frantic looking for a nest so I let them try this last time for this year. We are definitely stopping after this nest. They are tired and so am I!

And the nest of four new babies, 2 weeks old this week and really too many and too large for the nest. They will probably be out of the nest this weekend.

And here are the other three at 8 weeks of age. Now they are fully weaned they are not interested in egg food. All growing up!
