First egg

Apr 12th, 2008 by sophie

Well it’s definately the female in the nest! Thanks to Phil, and his comment on ‘Overnight Stay’, we realised that the roosting bird is Karma not Buzz and early this morning she produced egg number one. Apparently she will lay one a day until she decides there are enough and then she’ll start incubating them all at the same time. She’s continued to sleep in the nest every night and visit through the day to tinker with the nest. Since laying her egg her visits have been less frequent and just quick pop ins to check all is well.

Here’s a clip of the first sight of the egg.

and here’s Karma popping back to check everything’s OK during the day
