This blog introduces the breeding and child-rearing struggle of little grebes that bred in Inokashira Park in 2018.
The chicks who had been observing the previous year were wiped out. Let's see the whole story until the chicks grow up well this year! I started writing this blog.
The parent bird feeds the chicks. The chicks have hatched safely! June 12 Benten
■
On June 12, as expected, chicks were hatching in Benten Pond.
How many birds did you hatch?
From here, the branches of the tree are in the way and I can't see well.
When you enter the zoo branch, you can see it from the opposite side, but the opening time is 9:30.
Until then, let's observe the aquatic life house family.
I can only find 4 chicks, what's wrong?
The parent bird was taking a walk with the chick.
Only 4 chicks are found.
What happened to one of the five chicks?
Perhaps it was killed by a foreign enemy.
I can only find one parent bird, so I wish I could go out with that parent bird.
According to the story from the person who is always observing, it seems that he saw only 4 birds yesterday.
Is one chick all right?
There are many foreign enemies in the pond.
Crows from the sky, snakes from the surface of the water, turtles from the surface of the water, etc.
They are always looking at how to get rid of good-looking chicks.
In any case, I can't help but hope that one chick that can't be seen is safe.
Benten Pond, 3 chicks that have hatched! Twice
When I went to see Benten Pond, there were 3 chicks in all.
Two eggs were also confirmed.
Perhaps the first egg had been hatching since Saturday, June 9th.
The nest is moist due to the rain, but it seems to be okay for the time being.
Here, the little grebe family in Bentenike also has chicks safely hatched! From now on, the parents will be busy.
