FOULSHAW MOSS, & ALL LAKE DISTRICT NEST OBSERVATIONS 2022

09 May

04:31 - Blue35 had just flown out and here's WhiteYW taking over:

I check in every now and then, not often enough to guarantee no probs but it always looks OK.

Still very windy but at least its dry Still a few more days to go until we can expect the first chick

12 May

Everything looks to be going very well, apart from the wet and windy weather.

YW waited patiently, 35 got up and he took over - so calm:

Later he brought in a big piece of bark and tried to get sticks out of our way, but they ended up with the same one sticking up.  (I did the video just because I'm neglecting this lovely couple.)

I never seem to catch any action here no matter when I look but I think I'm right in saying that there could be the action of hatching towrds the end of the week Fingers crosssed all goes well

I have the advantage of recorded footage, but I let it go on for so long that there's too much of it to see anything when scrolling thru - and I hardly ever find a fish.

A changeover this morning:

Then it rained:

Continuing wet, no problem for our birds so far - it should be drier in the morning.

Supper fish:

YW is another very handsome looking bird

And he's curious, lol.  Here he was trying to peek under 35 to get a look at his eggs:

wonder if we'll get a hatch in the next 24 hours?

No sign yet but it's not a clear view of the eggs - probably someone will zoom when it gets closer to the time, I make it 36 days today.
