Great videos I didn't realise they would mate in the rain.

Ha, ha, Sweetwing! Most UK species would be extinct if rain put them off!

Just read that D, see you got a mention ... & rightly so!

Tiercel arrived at the box with a whole looking smallish bird. Big Bertha immediately popped out from around the corner and took the 'present'. He jumped into the box and a second later flew off.

.

Great news, hope he stays safe from whoever is trigger- happy in that area!

Loved all the pics from your trip D, shame they didn't 'perform' for you ... ne'er mind, you got them later! Lol
Matings seem a bit longer, more positive ... may be eggs soon?

Thanks for new blog link Kate, great to see they followed up on this story!

Thanks, Everyone, for the pics and posts. Alan, you are spoiling us with your photos/videos (I love it--thanks!) When do you expect eggs in the Sheffield nest? Hope the Derby male stays safe at Belper.

Thanks, Alan, and I hope this season goes smoothly.

Oooooh!
