Nest Box Camera – LIVE
13 August – Update: You may have noticed that the last two eggs are no longer present in the nest. After four months, it was decided to remove them and send them to Sheffield University where they will have their DNA profiles analysed and added to a national database. They will also check for environmental and genetic factors of interest that may assist in future research or investigations.
27 April – Video: Below is a snippet of the fight between our resident female and a younger intruding female. A fight that lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. More info on the Daily Commentary page. Unfortunately, the result is such that this clutch of eggs will not hatch. We wait with interest to see if the pair will lay a second clutch.
