Incubation day 12, and at least four chicks have hatched. In today’s video, three of them can be seen, although they all hatched underneath the mom, so there isn’t much visible.
Videon koostamisen jälkeen kuoruitui vielä yksi. Emo ei syö kuoria yöllä, koska se ei näe niitä. Pönttö on valaistu inftapunavalolla, jonka kamera näkee, mutta lintu, ja ihminen, ei näe.
One more hatched after the video was compiled. The parent bird doesn’t eat the eggshells at night because it can’t see them. The nest box is illuminated with infrared light, which the camera can see, but the bird—and humans—cannot.
The last three will likely hatch during the night or sometime tomorrow.
