Hi everyone - you'll be happy to know that Dad arrived close to Mom and Dad's perch at 8:41pm. He hasn't been going to the actual perch named - but he has been popping in to that tree.

Mom was just up to change position and roll the eggs. She's staring at Dad preening in the tree - but it looks as if she will nod off soon.

Thanks so much for going to the back-up forum,Bev [and thanks to you, JudyB for setting it up!]. I managed to capture some of the events on the nest today only because I had access to the forum for quite a while. Unfortunately, that all ended eventually!

Night - Cheers

Hi everyone! Just getting back and logged in to HWF with no problem. That lasted about 30 seconds! When I tried to go from the observations page to the PTZ sign-in page, I got that really annoying 'fake HWF' page we were getting yesterday.

Will keep trying.

2:57pm Looks like Dad in the nest..he was up to dig and to move the eggs a bit - now he's settled on the eggs and bringing nesting material in closer.

Hi again - I took a look around on the NPTZ and didn't see any sign of Mom.

Dad is quiet in the nest - no change.
