97 J. HAYDOCK MELANERPEs FORMICIVORUS SCHOOL HILL WEST HNHR 18 MAY 11:30 - 4 babies about the same size; largest 18g. One unhatched from "runt" egg - fully developed, but failed to hatch. 20 MAY 8:30 - Arrive to attempt to catch unbanded B# 11:30 - No luck - only saw B# 2288 Dblue / Dblue 22 MAY 8:00 - Arrive to attempt to catch unbanded B# 11:00 Again no luck. B# 2258 [illegible] fed about 12 times B# 2529 Lpink / Dblue M (red/white w) Fed about 7 times! Both brooded nestlings for about 30 min. Unbanded I never seen, so perhaps she is no longer around - wait until nest watch or 2 is done to check if unbanded is gone or land do a roost watch.
