Nanny and Burn, she really is a beauty. It seems such a shame that the eye injury has affected her abilities to such an extent and is even more upsetting when the flow-on effect is considered. Burn, it would be wonderful if you could follow the progress once the nest is occupied. It sounds like you wouldn't have the dream access that I've been fortunate enough to have, but maybe you could do it on a weekly basis.

Thanks Kiska. It's good to be able to share the sad with the good.

Here's another shot from yesterday. She was quiet most of the time, with just the one brief period where she called. This shows her blind eye and the crusty build-up at the base of her beak. I haven't noticed the eye weeping and have never seen her rubbing at it as if it was sore.
