Same procedure as every season

unfortunately this was the last time I saw both chicks. there is only one left now.

[Christina]

Noooo - poor mum and dad!!

[moni kozi]

Despite the camouflage... Well, it is how nature works, isn't it?

[Susan Wakely]

I should have prepared myself but still sad to hear!

[Babs]

Oh no how sad

[winghong_ho]

Hoping to see both of the chicks again.

[Kathy A]

This is so sad!

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, sadly this happens.. Take care little one.

[Mags]

Beautiful light. Sad.

[katy]

Are these the same ones that lost one last year or is this a new set of parents that lost one? They certainly are well camouflage in the rocks which must have made it difficult for you to get such a fabulous photo

[Milanie]

Wonderfully focused shot

[Linda Godwin]

so well camoflauged. maybe they need to find another nesting spot

[Pam]

Oh no. I am sure it is not easy protecting them. The lighting is so pretty here.

[gloria jones]

Nice focus, textures

[narayani]

Oh no 😢 That amazing camouflage doesn’t seem to work as well as I would have thought

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh, it's hard for these ground dwellers

[Rick]

Great capture. Just seems so strange that they disappear like that.

[LManning (Laura)]

I just love their eyes.

[Dawn]

Oh that’s sad

[Carole Sandford]

How sad, nature I suppose!

[George]

Very sad.

[Heather]

Although we know this is how nature works, it's still sad.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, hopefully the missing one will show up like the missing one did last year. Good shot.

[Diana]

@grammyn Yes Katy it is, I suppose it is difficult to protect two chicks with so many raptors around. Most of them seem to only get one through to adulthood :-(

@rontu It's not the spot Linda, they always nest on the ground :-)

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann, I like to think it got lost and is living with another family now ;-)

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Diana]

@elisasaeter Thanks Elisabeth :-)

[Renee Salamon]

Amazing capture
