30 Mar 23 — Day I-21
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.
30 Mar 23 — More begging
Today was a light day for Tom incubation wise but it was not for lack of trying! This was his last try for the day, around 7pm, but Azina didn’t want to budge 😉
29 Mar 23 — Days I-19 and I-20
Two quiet days but very different. Yesterday Tom did little incubation (just under two hours). Today he did the most he’s done in a day so far this year with over five hours in two shifts. Today Azina did her longest day shift with seven hours on the trot.
About two thirds of the way through now…
27 Mar 23 — Day I-18
Another quiet day apart from the moment Azina spotted something high up (first two shots) and went after it. It was so high up I never managed to spot it and lost Azina as she was just a teeny dot on her way after it. This was just before lunchtime and it’s only then that Tom came for his first shift
26 Mar 23 — Days I-15 to I-17
We have now reached the half way point 🙂
Here are a few shots from the last three days including some of the quite dramatic skies we had on Friday when it was clear and sunny over the hospital but very dark and raining just North (I even heard some thunder over Kensington at that time). And two shots of the boat races as they pass Hammersmith Bridge as viewed from the Peregrine nest ledge.
Tom has been doing shorter days of incubation, a mixture again of him not turning up and Azina refusing him. She ended up doing a shift of around 20 hours overnight as she’d started it early afternoon and Tom didn’t relieve her until almost 11 this morning.
26 Mar 23 — Nipping
Tom’s getting bolder! He nipped at Azina’s wing to make her move today…
25 Mar 23 — Begging
Tom begged and begged and begged…
23 Mar 23 — Day I-14
A few shots from today.
There was an intruder near 3pm, a female I presume as Azina shot out of the box and used the hospital to gain height quickly to chase it over the cemetery. Tom was around and immediately went to incubate. Azina relieved him 10 minutes later.
Apart from this it was a quiet day. Azina ended up doing 14hr22m on the trot overnight. Tom had an easy day today, with only 2hr28m.
23 Mar 23 — A couple of clips
Someone had something green for breakfast, lunch or dinner 😉
Azina cast a pellet this afternoon that’s a bit more colourful than the other ones you can see to her right.
And another picture in picture clip. This time Tom is incubating in the box and Azina pays a visit.
22 Mar 23 — Days I-11, I-12 and I-13
Very quiet days again with little to report. Tom has done average days (3h40) to long (nearly 5 hours).
The coming night is going to be long for Azina as she refused Tom’s help twice this afternoon/early evening meaning that she’s been incubating since 2.50pm
A few shots from the last three days.
