Poor Kate!   

Today I saw this (new?) egg in nestbox from Harculo.

That is unusual.

Happy birthday for you!

There’s movement up the tower
Posted on 12-07-2011

It appears the local breeding season isn’t too far away now. This morning both adults, Beau & Swift, were spotted on the tower peak, bowing and showing a general interest in each other. They then swooped off to do loops of the tower and trees below, with plenty of friendly chirping and in-flight contact. They seem very friendly to each other again and we’ll watch them closely over the next few weeks. it was a rare opportunity to sight both adults in the same place and to gauge their size difference; quite noticeably female Swift is the larger bird, even from this distance (this is the norm for most raptors). Both appear to be in fine health, even through this chilly winter, but the sunny days must provide good vitality. Stay tuned…

 

First Stellar now Jurist.  

Happy birthday!

Four young birds, three females and a male, amble out to the ledge every day, mostily in the cool evening, and flap their wings as it takes time before the flegdlings can fly with precision.
