3 February 2026 Good Morning Everyone, This has to go first as I missed it so a belated happy birthday to Jackie and Shadow! And before anything else, a ‘fiver’ will give you the opportunity to vote for the names for Gabby and Beau’s eaglets. But you must hurry! Great capture of a tandem feedingContinue reading “Jak and Audacity have their second egg…Tuesday in Bird World”
Late Monday in Bird World
2 February 2026 Hello to Everyone, Oh, the sadness that the loss of Jackie and Shadow’s eggs has caused. It was like a grey cloud that covered the entire world.

Eggs and hatches…Late Monday in Bird World
26 January 2026 Hello Everyone, Oh, it was a grand day today. -15 at noon. Toby went for a walk with Ellen and I got to attend to some much needed recycling.

Oops..a correction
Hi there, Just a correction. I reported an egg in Kansas City – nope, not there. ‘N’ sent me a lovely note and will alert me when it arrives: “Wanted to let you know, no egg in Kansas.
