After the trauma of the weekend, I genuinely believed that this would be the final post to the blog this year ..
I was slightly encouraged, when I noticed that Molly was still visiting the nest first thing this morning, so I had a peek at the cam, and the last 3 chicks were still alive and kicking ... and off I went to work ...
Arriving home, it was with some trepidation that I turned on the cam ...
Well, imagine my surprise that not only were the trio of chicks still alive and kicking, but that Supermom Molly had removed all 6 of the dead chicks from the nest !!
So who would have thought that we would see this sight tonight ??
Having invested so much in her brood, Molly has obviously decided to try her utmost to see the job through. Well, with a fair wind and her dogged determination, and now with just 3 chicks to raise, who would bet against her ?? You go girl !!
