Hiya Sweetwing, nice to meet you :)
I had to give up downloading the nestcam because the stream was faulty. It's been so strange, in that it appears to be OK on YouTube but the URL is very unreliable for downloading. I've now got your new link on the go and it's better, but still drops out randomly.
This was off YT rollback, still not easy to see her in her corner - stirring at something past 06:00:
And stretching before flying off in a blur:
IMAGICAT
A meetup around 08:00:
Then I thought this was Xavier popping back but am not so sure now:
Diamon spent the night on the ledge 04/05 March, with a visit to Stony Corner during the night and another in the morning. At the time of my last 6-hour clip ending, she hadn't yet left.
Checking the nestcup spot before bedtime:
On the scrape cam I can get snaps of her on her way into and away from Stony Corner but they're very blurred.
Not sure, but I thought his was Xavier waiting and leaving when his dear one didn't appear:
Diamond spent the night in Stony Corner and on the ledge. Next morning she hung around, and no wonder - the mist obviously makes one concerned, in view of recent history!
She retreated to her corner and was still there at 09:00.
By 10:00 the air had cleared and Di went out for a meal - a flat take-off:
She returned with a plump crop and has spent the rest of the day on the ledge.
Diamond spent the night of 06/07 on the ledge and in her corner. She had a little encounter with Xavier in the morning:
Morning of the 8th after a night spent mostly in Stony Corner, Di was gone very quickly at about 0640, with just a quick backward glance:
Di spent most of the 8th on the ledge or in Stony Corner (she really seems to like her stones):
And she had one brief session at the nestcup, only one foot-scrape and no belly-scrapes:
21:30 and Diamond is asleep with a breeze ruffling her feathers:
