Challenging breeding



On Wednesday evening Roy and I returned to one of our new breeding pairs to check upon their progress. Despite having eggs in early June the attentive female was still brooding an increased clutch of six eggs. We suspect that some of the earlier eggs may be infertile and that she has tried again. We will return in a month or so to see what developments occur.
