Birdies LG DU update.
She's on her own (for now!) pottering :-* Sitting in her nestcup. Leave her alone! Come home 5R!
IMAGICAT
She's sorting out her messed up nest - at least it gives her something to do while she's waiting...
Thanks Scylla for early morning vids :-) I am beginning to feel sorry for her waiting. I do hope 5R returns today
Me too Karen. Hope we get good news later.
Mrs5R is undecided what to do with this big clump of nesting material....

Good morning all thanks for the captures. So hope Mrs5R's mate will turn up today. Getting quite worried that several males are still not here.
I'm worrying too, MARGO, but I'm sure we'll be told it's too early to worry ;-)
This is from some time ago - Mrs5R kicked off that nasty intruder ;-)
Earlier, she had brought in this really solid clod - it took a lot of work for her to incorporate it :o
I think I would be more worried if all the other males were back. This smog from the sahara and pollution from eastern europe must be causing a hold up im sure. Maybe Tiger or an other may have some expert thoughts on that
