Impatient drivers
This bird was crossing the road with two of the chicks before it went back and collected the smallest one. Sadly, at least one driver got impatient and passed the cars that stopped. It shows how protective the male is and the difficultly to keep chicks safe when crossing roads. Especially on a bend and with an 80kph speed limit
