Eggs in the next few days I expect.

I was right. The first one appeared about an hour ago. There may be more but she hasn’t left the nest since.

Two badgers early this morning, didn't even stop to exchange pleasantries! The one on the right (fully sighted) just hurried past the one-eyed badger. We rarely see two at a time, but quite often two at different times overnight. At least two different foxes also showed up overnight.

My parents have a similar camera and reported a fox wandering through the garden last night with a complete egg cartoon in its mouth.

If anyone in York is wondering where their early morning egg delivery went, it wasn't "those bl**dy kids"; it was a fox...

I short wander near Stoke beach. Very quiet, but did see a male Blackcap, a Fulmar and a

Chiffchaff

Hard to count this morning as she is making efforts to cover the eggs before she leaves the nest.

Heard some Terns off Brora beach didnt see them though. Cant mistake their call as its distinctive and as one bird id book put it " it sounds squeaky like amalgam being put into a filling at the dentist" !

I've only just seen your post. Now I know why my newly filled by the NHS, teeth have been squeaking since the event.
