Hello all,

There is notice on website that stream is switched off.
Junior died yesterday choking on a bone while eating.
That is true, at least that the young one died yesterday evening.
But the cam is NOT switched off.
Today around 15.00 they removed the dead chick.
But surprisingly they replaced it with another one.
One of our members had contact with Spain, and they told us that
they have moved a chick from another nest (nearby) to this one.
The other nest every year has problems in raising their chick(s)
I expect that nest had more than one chick, and that they have removed one of them.
Giving both nest the best chances.
It took more than 2 hours before the mother came to the nest, but when she arrived,
she almost immediately started feeding her new chick.
Made me think of a song from The Eagles -- A New Kid In Town
