  • That's a good pic showing the eggs, a little smaller than I would have expected but I have just been looking at Peregrine eggs!

    Will be good to see hatching of these, never seen Raven chicks before

  • Last year she only laid two and only one of them hatched - the Wellesley staff think she's a young bird as a raven typically lays five eggs.  I hope we get three successful hatchings.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • Fingers firmly crossed!

  • That fluff was deep in the raven nest last year, too. To me, it looks like the lint that collects from the exhaust of a tumble dryer. LOL! I wonder if the college has a laundry nearby.

  • I have no idea, Diane - I'm particularly stumped that she seems to be nibbling it.

    It all looks very peaceful at the moment:

  • Morning, all!  With all the goings-on in Ospreyland yesterday I couldn't find time to cover this nest!  Let's hope today will be calmer.

    Pauline is laying peacefully:

    The only thing bothering me slightly is that I've yet to see both adults together - a year ago Henry was sleeping next to the nest.  I hope they are both OK.
