Observation details
Heard a lot of peeping outside study window. Saw two NM chicks on ground. Seemed a bit too young for fledging so watched closely. Multiple adults were attending to them (including feeding) and they both seemed healthy with one a little bigger. We were concerned that perhaps strong wind hastened their departure from the nest but didn't want to interfere when they were receiving care. Hoped adults would encourage them off the ground. Adults did seem a little confused about what to do with faecal matter the chicks deposited on the ground level rock. We went to bed that night anxious about their fate but thought adult attention gave hope.
