I think this will be an interesting season at Loch Arkaig - who is going to take residence is the big question?
For me it doesn't matter who, just as long as the nest is occupied.

So the 3rd egg is 36 days, Geemeff?
Just short of 36 days. Third egg was laid just after midnight on 1st May, chick hatched at 16.24 on 5th June so technically 35 days 16 hours.

Sorry Sandra, thought I'd posted the long version of bob falling backwards and finally righting itself nearly an hour later 17.47 - 18.44. Perhaps one too many Jubilee Pimms at the garden party...
21.59 Wobbly new bob falls over again! But rights itself much faster this time.
