We are now up and running live on YouTube, so please head on over there where you can see, at the moment, beautiful Augusta sitting patiently on the nest in the sunshine (so saying, Samson has just taken over and Augusta is going “sticking”). Thank you for your patience as I jumped the gun a little last week for which I received a deserved smack on the head from Jain, my techie lady.
For identification purposes, as well as Augusta being ringed 500, she also has the darker head feathers with almost a complete line from the top down the back of her head, with a small dot on either side at the top. From the front, she has far heavier forehead markings with distinct “frown” lines. Samson has an altogether whiter head, with a distinct break in the line at the back and far lighter forehead markings. He loves to incubate and is always more than ready when he can persuade Augusta to get up from the nest!
I hope you enjoy watching. I have disabled the chat for the present.
