The bad news. The snake returned and took another chick last night. I'm not showing the pictures. I've searched for ways to stop snakes getting to nesting boxes - and there doesn't seem to be a successful way - and certainly none that I could add to the box while the nest is there. I'm hoping that the snake is full for a few days, which might give the remaining chicks a chance to fledge.

On other news. This raccoon is our regular visitor - day and night - it can be identified by the base of its tail - which seems to miss a band of fur!
