TWO EGGS AND AN APOLOGY

I was too optimistic about the camera situation in the last blog but we did manage to get confirmation this morning that JW6 had indeed laid a second egg, probably yesterday. As with last year, she is now increasing the time she is incubating, leaving Samson more time to fish and do all his other chores. A third egg should be due on Monday.

I am having to deal with a family situation at present which may take me away from the nest for a wee while, so I will be unable to blog for a period. We will, nevertheless, have people watching the nest and if there is anything untoward to report I will endeavour to let you know.

I will be back with you as soon as I am able but here is a picture of our newest volunteer watcher who hasn’t quite worked out how to use the scope yet.
