The usual pair have been around since end of season last year ... the female appears to have an injury to her left foot and cannot grip the ledge with it or bend the middle talon or tuck it into her body when resting! This makes her rather unbalanced and awkward when turning on the ledge! She appears quite healthy and looks to be eating well so let us hope it doesn't hinder her when laying eggs or feeding the young (should we be so blessed this year)

More bonding today, a little unusual in that the male flew in first and the female joined him 5 minutes later ... male didn't stay very long and left in his usual kamikaze way!

Our female Kate! She is spending long hours on the scrape ledge now ... getting nearer to egg time but her left foot is still a problem for her!
The two scrapes and cams had a good clean up yesterday in preparation for the forthcoming season ...

Our Female came back after a couple of hours, had a scrape in the new gravel, still has an injured left foot, then she fell asleep and was still dozing on the scrape after 23.00 ... encouraging news, laid first egg overnight 17/18th March last year but 9th March in 2022
