The male in the scrape (nearly falling asleep, I see) with the female eating on the other side, also head-down from time to time. <br />A pergerine expert in the SW of Emgland (Nick Dixon) did call today to sugest that egg-laying might be imminent, but then we'd just see the female standing still for quite some time in the scrape, not both together like we're seeing right now. Te male is making short, plaintiff calls as he stares at her.<br />Nick M<br />Dreby MuseumPeregrine Project Member (Nick M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206815980511978659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-9933324101355636282010-03-23T13:31:56.753+00:002010-03-23T13:31:56.753+00:00What is happening in the nest... they are both th...What is happening in the nest... they are both there, one each side, the cam is zoomed in on the scrape!
