The resident pair at this nest are Hilde and Heinz. Hilde laid her first egg on February 25, and her second egg today. I had seen them incubating for the past two days, but could not see an egg. The nest box is made of stainless steel.





The site was updated today to confirm that there are now two eggs.

February 27, 2018

In the freezing cold the first egg was laid on Sunday morning and on Tuesday the second one followed. At the current temperatures, it is very important that the eggs are permanently covered from the beginning and protected from freezing. And so you see the two now taking turns incubating all day in the nest. That is not yet full incubation. This will probably start on Thursday with the 3rd egg and then probably warmer temperatures again. It is to be hoped that the eggs will survive the two coming cold days and the particularly icy easterly wind up in the box.
