Mayday! Mayday! Man overboard!
Our reporter in the field (or rather garden) Lukas confided to me last night that he saw the gruesom event unfold a few days ago (around May Day): Anne-Marie picked at, and tugged around on one of the chicks, turning the limp body over till she got a hold of its rear end, then hauled it out of the nest, and dropped it in the garden… naked and dead… I guess it just didn’t make it, and she had to clean out the body. That also explains what happened to the fifth egg - there’s only 4 chicks in the nest now!
