I've asked myself that question about why don't they roof it - no idea. I believe four eggs hatched and two chicks succumbed to the bad weather, then the smaller of the two survivors didn't make it also, but I don't know why.
I was watching during the downpours, and the brooding mum was absolutely drenched, it's a wonder she didn't succumb too.
