amazing that the Lady is still here after the traumas a couple of years ago - we can only hope that this year's eggs may hatch - not long to wait now!

I hope so boxtops, wonderful birds.

Brilliant boxtops, watched the trauma with her year before last, fingers crossed now.

She has a new chap-bird this year, fingers crossed!

and the owls must be close to hatching in Cornwall - lots to look forward to

The soonest possible hatch date is May 21st - more likely a couple of days later, then the other two should hatch at 2-day intervals as they were laid 2 days apart.

My only worry is that the new male might drown if it takes on a pike that is a bit too big for it to lift. Large pike seem to be its favourite.

And what a fidget he is - can't sit still on the nest whilst incubating, always has to be playing with the bedding and dressing up in it!
