The first changeover...

 

31st March 2023 

A visiting male disturbed the peace yesterday afternoon. Our female interacted with it for a few mnutes until it finally flew west and out of sight. Meanwhile 'our' male perched on one of the cornets, calling.

The female slept on the nest from 23.00 to 05.00 this morning.

After a couple of days absence, the female visited the nest at 09.25 this morning, staying for a few minutes...

Visits by the pair are now more regular and the female is staying longer - often 30 minutes, examining the nest, creating a depression and eating gravel. First egg a month away?
