We saw the dead wfh chick last night. Its head was hanging down under the nest. The parents will surely have to get rid of it as it will foul the nest. Will they push it through, or lift it out? Doubtless there will be scavengers waiting for a feast . We found a small fish under the nest the other day. Ants were already devouring it, after a very short time
