ten mins of own will but in
Two turns I have watched close
Did not feed young on return even
Though they all came heads when
I approach. - q does not appear to
Do anything when off.
All trace of egg shell has been removed.
Off at 5- Autumn, in 3 mins - mole
Approached food then stuffed 15ft short-
She went on - paused - picked bird one
and up - then settled down. She must
have received this food from the male
or else caught it in site as she did
not go to ground and did apparently
receive food from male as they came
together - abnormal when she gets
food - must have been small food.
As could not see it in beak of either
bird.
Off at 5.08 - left ground male-did
not receive food - went to ground -
male & nest next - not near - within
aft - q appeared - 8 left - female
fed one and then settled. - males appeared
offered off with visible food - fed female a nut
Off at 5.14 - returned at 5.17 - once
she & graces - returned with full -
no food saw - sat - they do not -
in view all time - yet fed young -
did not receive from male
who swallowed - did not find as she
left the next time.
