Greetings,
I was under the impression that Bush S-curlews started sitting as soon as
the first egg was laid. this leads to differential hatching. I have
witnessed it a couple of times. Today I received this from a friend and
would appreciate comments from the learned people of birding-aus.
" K. says there were 2 eggs on Sat morning, & at 4 pm, there were 2 chicks.
She can see their nest through her kitchen window, so can observe them
without scaring them. Beaut experience, watching the parents swap over the
sitting job, etc."
Regards,
Alan Gillanders
