Absolutely heart breaking news from the uni project. It seems that this winter weather has wiped out 3 of the 4 chicks. I thought it looked bleak when from noon to about 3.30 there was not a sign of life from under mums protective wing. To make it worse, i've heard the male has perished too. I hope its all rumour but it looks bad
