Media notes
Adult at nest after feeding chick.
Observation details
A nest with three chicks and at least four adults feeding them. Some adults were reluctant to feed the chicks although they brought back insects to the area of the nest - including mantis, some green leafy insects and dragonfly. Three chicks fledged around 12 noon and stay around nest area till about 1pm. Chicks and adults were very vocal both before and after fledgling. Chicks were able to fly at least 40 feet soon after fledging. I was told by one person that the feeding of this nest had been going on for about 19 days. Further note by Tan Chin Tong : On the 3 dusky BB fledglings, I have a serial shorts of 30+ frames showing the adult went to the nest with grasshopper, teasing the chicks and not feeding them. Leave the nest with grasshopper. I guess is asking the chicks to leave the nest.
