LOCH GARTEN - May 2022

Axel arrives with a clump. Mistle leaves. Blowing a hoolie.

I still can't understand Axel calling. Have we heard it from any other male before?

20.02 Mistle responds and comes to his call! Axel gets up and flies. Mistle creeps into the nest, removing some bits of nest material before sitting down.

Good question Sheila! Is he expecting Mistle to return with a bit of fish? 

Axel is calling and calling. Mistle arrives back and looks at him like he's crazy. He leaves, she gets on. Axel tramples the eggs on the way out. Guess they might be considered "turned" now. Eek.

Eeek! But I like your thoughts!!

Oh dear, the rain is starting edit:  the rain had been falling for a while - she is wet, so the light will go earlier than expected. Will there be a third egg under darkness?

I rather hope not. Two is enough for me with these two. Even one would be fabulous!

I'm off now.
