Beautiful female, Rutland's CJ7:
The hoped-for partner for CJ7, local male LS7, has not yet appeared. CJ has been tending the nest daily and yesterday she took everyone by surprise, producing an egg - which took us by surprise by surviving... until midnight at least ;)
IMAGICAT
It opens smaller for me, don't know if it's Firefox's fault. Here it's cropped and 700px wide:
Definitely a ring.
A holding snap - pottering on the nest for 10 minutes @ 08:00 this morning.
Merlin (I claim): EDIT - wrongly, as it turns out. But the Hobby I checked looked too pale to be this bird.
I'm packing up now, SYAL :)
============================
EDIT (I'm doing this in my sleep, I'll have you know!)
Unedited 10-minute video of HOBBY on the nest:
.
I am DEVASTATED to have been wrong
Unknown said:By the way, there was a lovely Hobby visit to the webcam nest about 8am, lasting for a good ten minutes.
Oh well, I've insisted it's a Merlin. I did tell my friend I'd stuck my neck out, so it may give everyone (RICHARRRRD?!!!) a laugh
I think, Scyla it's a Hobby but I'm going to post a picture of both so you and Alison can determine if I am right.
Hobby above and now or , rats. Hobby below and Merlin above anyway the Hobby has a ''speckled'' head.
I've edited my post and am now going to cry myself to sleep. I was so proud
What do they say that pride preceeds?
I'm reposting the video here because it really was a charmer and no-one should miss it:
Goodnight!
