Stormin 9,981 #1 Posted August 3, 2020 Second brood of Moorhen chicks this year. Six all told. This lot were hatched out in a nest 20ft up a willow tree. Free fall exit. First lot didn't survive. Cats, crows and magpies. One crow and one magpie contracted fatal lead poisoning. 3 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
