Amsterdam, there is a female intruder in the neighborhood. It seems she even entered the nestbox and took a leftover with her. :shock:

The eyases have been alone since 17.15 local time, that's what is reported on my forum. :-(

@ Beth: I don't think the "authorities" will interfere, (remember Pa and Ma De Mortel in 2007 ? )

Not good Ingrid...Please keep us informed.
I will light a candle to ask Froona to help us...

OH NO!!!! I gotta have faith that one or both parents will be back...thank goodness the intruder didn't harm the babies...

Too dark to see in the nest box...but there was a tad bit of light...I took a pic and lightened it as much as I could...I didn't see anything...but I didn't see a lighter area either which would have been the "chick pile"...so, I'm hoping a parent now has them covered...

Does not look good. I will pray as I turn in for the night .

I just checked too, Bev...and I'm sorry I did...surely BOTH parents would not have deserted them...come on parents...I hope for better news when I get up tomorrow...the good news is there is movement...but they are going to need warmth and food soon...

I cannot believe the biologists here will not intervene again. Please not another deMOrtel. this appears worse. No adults. Only the one that someone posted.

I am sorry, I cannot watch this again. I jsut have no heart left to see any more suffering :cry:

Arjen · **Posted:** Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:07 am

Bev, the policy here in Holland is not to intervene in situations like this.

Although it's heartbreaking, we have to deal with that.

bev. · **Posted:** Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:22 am

I know Arjen, It is just so hard.

I jsut wish that they could see that this is now humane. I f we see something in need in the forest we help it.

I am sure none of them would leave a wounded or starving animal or bird on its own if they ran across one. I guess that is why this is so hard to take in and understand.
