Hobby Nest (Part 2)

[melv16]

Old thread has disappeared off notifications board.

[Tilly2]

How long have we been watching this nest? It seems like a long time.

[Mamyalynne]

Since June 24th.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, Mamya.

[melv16]

March 1st for me.

While I'm not a birdwatcher, I can't help but peek in here every day or so since I first saw this thread. It's really a bit of an avian soap opera about failed attempts at making babies by inexperienced parents, with much sadness and frustration.

[ladybirder]

She's been sitting on those eggs for 50 days now hasn't she?

[melv16]

208 replies on both threads, is it record for a birds thread?

[Tilly2]

Could be Melv. It's you, me and LB who have been watching over her constantly.

All to no avail, sadly.

[ladybirder]

She's not there now 08.32. Keep it up girl.

[ladybirder]

She's now appeared again sitting on one of the poles behind the nest.

[melv16]

It could be a happy hunting ground. So she could stay till she migrates. I pop in occasionally up to when they turn the camera off in November. You never know what will turn up. I've seen red kites and kestrels in the past.

[melv16]

Hobby snoozing next to box.

[ladybirder]

Can't see her now at all. At least she's given up on the incubating which is a relief. She needs to get herself fed and fit for migration.

[Tilly2]

I haven't been able to watch today. I just get an error message. :-(

[ladybirder]

That's odd Tilly. I can see fine but I have had trouble lately and swapped from Safari to Chrome and that worked. But it's back to working on Safari since I did the latest update. Do you need to update perhaps?
The scrape is empty BTW.

[Tilly2]

Thank you, LB. It's ok today. I can see her sitting in the background.

[Canary42]

Just flown off.

[ladybirder]

I think I can safely stop watching now, until next year.
Travel safely Mrs Hobby and I look forward to your safe return in the Spring:-)

[melv16]

Hobby there now.

[calmck]

No one there now
