Rainy day… And we got a repeat of Wednesday with few exchanges and long shifts with Azina doing one of six hours and Tom over three hours so he was back to over five hours in total. No sign of intruders 🙂

Something worked up the pair around 1pm today but I couldn’t see what it was… (first five shots)
And a few more shots from today.

The two eggs in glorious colour a few minutes ago. The first egg is on the right and the second one on the left.
Azina and the two eggs 12 Mar 23 — Azina lays egg number 4
Azina laid her fourth egg this evening.
She got up at 6.47 p.m. At 6.49, you can clearly see three eggs. At 6.50 she turns round and starts pushing at 6.52, laying the egg at 6.53. At 6.55 she turns and settles, showing all four eggs in the process as she gathers them together. Easy peasy!
And here are a few shots from today.

Chick #3 is two weeks old today!
Azina feeds the chicks
Chick #2 didn’t follow in chick #1’s footsteps and hasn’t stood up today. Chick #1 is a bit more steady on its feet.
Azina feeds the chicks – chick #1 is standing up!
There were five feeds today, most of them quite long. Pigeon was on the menu for all of them.
Azina spent the night in the box with the chicks but she wasn’t brooding them. She brooded them a couple of times in the morning but on the whole the chicks were left on their own for most of the day. Except for feeds (which amounted to 2 1/2 hours in total)
Azina and the chicks all asleep in the box To finish, it can happen to the best of them! Azina has an off moment this morning…
