20110429 - Ex-Chicks

view map

Came across this little graveyard yesterday whilst taking pics of Redmire Force.


I found a dead chick in this rocky hole a few years ago too - don't know if they just fall in there from the trees above or if something puts them there "for later". Or maybe they just waddle in there by themselves and then can't waddle back out as it's very deep and round?

Hmmmm.... have you thought about filling in the hole so this doesn't happen again?
Now I must go have a good long cry. :((

Such a shame, dead baby blackbirds in a nest in my garden today, gutted.

Such a shame, it looks like its been a one way ride for them

The fragility of life. Don't think they're being left for later. Looks like they fell in and could not get out.

a poignant find...it's a harsh world for the young and defenseless..
