Will there be more hatches? I wonder.

I have asked David whether there will be a wait given the time difference between that first laid egg & the rest ... who knows if they are viable still but that one that hatched proved us all wrong, just such a shame that it came out into all the disruption at this site!

Thanks again Wendy and David for Blog.

Such a sad year, but we are privileged to be able to watch nature,experiencing a natural event, (hopefully not too common) ,uncomfortable but interesting.

This morning sees the 'Bully' back on the ledge and eventually to the Box.Mr P leaves as she continues to sit ignoring the Eggs, and then flies back and forth,intimidating. Doh!!!

10.50

Has another Egg hatched

Can't really tell Kate although does look likely ... that intruder blocking the way still!

She is a nightmare in more ways than one, Why doesn't she sit on the Eggs Grr!!!!

Wonder re the next scenario, will Mr P eventually mate with Big Mamma, Will she want any Eggs, will she look after them,, Oh dear what a lot of if'sand but's

As you say Kate, a nightmare it really is! Someone is on eggs now & just going to scroll back to see what's going on!

Now that the eggs have been reshuffled it no longer shows any hatch in progress!

Definitely was the intruder who spent several hours on nest & left @ 14.10 & returned again @ 15.06 with Mr P trying his best to incubate in between times but is reluctant to be around when she comes to call!

Big Mama

has been in box trampling over the Eggs, which look still whole(so no more hatched thank goodness.

and then flew.
