Hi Mary, 29th March at 11.35. Ian
Thanks for the link Mary - I've gone for the 27th March @ 17:00.
This is wonderful of Balgavies to do this. I remember a few years back some of the other sites used to run a competition start of season but for some reason it all stopped. Such a shame because it was so much fun. So good on Balgavies :-)
I wonder what the prize is - one of Darren photos as a print would be marvellous. Anyway good luck to every one who is having a go :-)
Mary - I know you visit Balgavies a few times and am wondering do you know if they plan ever to set up a webcam?

Darren is doing this on his own, just like the FB Page, it has no actual connection to SWT Balgavies. I would imagine the prize would be one of his fabulous photos. Jim the warden lives on site but not always in the hide. So it is always relying on him or someone being in the hide or on the reserve when the birds first come back. :-)
I don't think there will ever be a webcam there, considering they don't ring the chicks because the tree is too difficult to climb. (No ringing since Blue YD was rung and sat tagged in 2012) I think Roy and Keith had great difficulty getting up that tree :D
Ian - I have posted your guess. :-) Good Luck!
Thanks Mary for the info. Shame as I think a webcam would be great but we know it is not always possible. Good job we have Darren :-)

Thanks Mary, if my guess is correct then I'll let you keep the prize. Ian
No Ian if you win the prize, then it will definitely come to you direct from Darren. I have a nice selection of A3 size photos from Darren which he kindly sent me. A pure gem he is :-)
