What initially looked to me to be a hip injury now appears more likely to be the young colt's knee. The adult pair are just off camera hunting for food (mice, voles, grass snakes, grubs, etc.) while the colt watches on. Prior to sustaining the injury, the young bird would be learning the trade along side and with the adult birds. I haven't yet witnessed the adults bringing anything of sustenance to the young bird, I sure hope they do. If not, besides predators, starvation is a possibility.
