No Chicks

Sadly we have to conclude that the eggs in our bird box were not going to hatch. It is over a month since they were laid, and there is no sign of hatching. By this stage we should have a box full of chicks. We have seen almost no sign of a second parent in the video we have recorded from the bird box camera, and this may have been part of the reason that the nest has failed. The single parent has to leave the box regularly to feed, and this might have meant the eggs got too cold? We can only hope for a more successful nest next year.
