Great views on Camera two yesterday evening of Dad with the light changing as the sun went down on the city…..watch till the end for the full Peter Pan experience complete with Tinker Bell sprinkles ….caused as the light faded on the city…..a special moment…..!!!

What a difference a day makes wet and windy today; but what a cracker yesterday . Here’s Dad patrolling he tried several times to feed her and look after the eggs but all I’ve vain. If at first you don’t succeed….try ,try ,try, again…..I think it will be a different story today…..!!

So it’s a strange situation normally we have four eggs as a clutch but now seven days after the last egg I’m sure this is it for this year. We had very …very….poor weather during this period and as soon as soon as it got better the workmen were very visible by their lifts …..the birds could have been unhappy about this….what ever the case we will never know for sure….!! Now it makes it very difficult to predict accurately when the first egg will hatch both birds are incubating well but are somewhat distracted….again impossible to say why….!! My best guess with all fingers crossed would be hatching from the beginning of May ……pinning my hopes on the 3rd May…..!!
