First egg confirmed at Esthwaite Water
Egg #1 at Foulshaw Moss - but I'm struggling to find it being laid in the early hours of the morning - she arrived to get settled in the nestcup at 00:43 !!! In vile weather, of course !!!

Just a brief glimpse - I've made you struggle along with me, sorry about that.
Well done on the 1st egg
