Hey ladies!
It'll be fun seeing G's reaction to his egg - then later - to chicks.

Gimbir beginning to consider incubating.
He'll stand by the eggs.

I saw a video on FB of him just stopping short of laying on them. He has the right idea! He was very gentle...

Gimbir incubated the 2 eggs for a few minutes earlier today. He's ready! :leafwave:

Strange falcon visits box
October 10, 2025
Diamond is in the box, clearly agitated due to the presence of a strange 'floater' falcon in the vicinity of the nest box - and then there is a surprise visit causing Diamond to leave in alarm. The intruder (probably female going by size and chest speckles, but possibly large male) doesn't stay long.

Hatching week - Nov. 1

Thanks Beth
I thot I'd add Cilla's note ....

NEWS 21st October, 2025
There was a mating early this morning.
This is unusual after the second egg and we have had three for over two weeks. Unlikely to lead to a fourth, however.

Otherwise things are progressing normally. Gimbir is doing his share of incubation, so Diamond can hunt and is bringing occasional prey.

The eggs arrived on 29/9, 1/10 and 4/10 and due to hatch the first week of November.
