The female is now sitting very tightly on 5 eggs. She rarely moves long enough to get a clear picture of all five, but here you can just about make them out.
The male is now very busy catching for ther pair of them and things are going to get an awful lot busier!!
The first egg should be hatching around the 25th May. Watch this space!!

Unfortunately we are having serious technical problems at the moment but we are trying our very best to resolve them.
I will try and keep you upto date through the diary. The latest being, still no eggs as yet! But the female is still spending a lot of time in the box. Is she waiting for the problems to be resolved???

9.45am on the 16th March and the female is in the box again. Is she getting ready to produce the first egg?
We are working on two cameras not sending images,the cameras themselves are fine but the images are not being sent to the web site for some reason and we think that the fuzzy image from the box camera is down to condensation!!
