One for the birders....(and Jeera) 09:50 - May 25 with 302 views

One indication of how poor the weather has been is both my pairs with eggs have left them uncovered in order to feed themselves. Nb4 south has 3 eggs, the third being laid on 22nd May. The clutch is complete and she should be incubating, instead she went out all day yesterday hunting. The other nest with eggs in is nb1 west. There are only 2 eggs in that clutch and again the second one laid on 22nd May. She also spent all day yesterday out feeding. The amount of time both clutches were uncovered would if it was another bird species mean both would have perished. But swifts have evolved so that their eggs can be left uncovered for a considerable amount of time.
