dam: dam 1 east
location: Low on N-side of dam. In blackberry complex. Location is nest 19-2020/22, old code still readable.
breeders: cach x teus
OBSERVATIONS:
09-04-2023 adult: 2 unringed cach present at blocks on N side, in front of location. Search for nest today.
26-04-2023 nest: same location, old codes still present. Refreshed with spray.
eggs: 1x egg, egg is cold. Nest abandoned? Egg measured.
comment: This used to be an early nest, 3 eggs should be floating already this date. In retrospect: late, as one parent is now Herring Gull?
13-05-2023 adult: partner 1 = cach adult.
18-05-2023 nest: 3 eggs.
27-05-2023 pulli: 3x chicks ringed and measured.
18-06-2023 pulli: 3x chicks present, but not in category 'fledged', still too young.
pullus: g-8|S with terrible head wound, therefore not measured. Will probably not survive.
pullus: g-8|T between blocks, was checked upon by adult Herring Gull, close to nest site. Hence: at least one parent is Herring!?
25-06-2023 pullus: g-8|U caught and measured.
