Nest #47 - had 2 dead chicks (hatching size) + legg which had pipped but had not hatched. Since there had been 4 eggs - perhaps 1 chick had hatched early & left with it (last egg shells I had, had egg were all gone - It had been carried away by adult?) - or perhaps rain & cold got to the chick while the parent was off feeding ?? At nest #44 - There were 3 eggs - all cold - The embryos were within 3.5 day! hatching.
