Just been on site. Nothing exciting happening on the nest at the moment but according to the blog one of the eggs has "wobbled" a couple of times so fingers crossed for tomorrow which is when the first egg is due to hatch.
We'll be watching on and off all day though we usually miss all the important bits. A couple of years ago we did catch one of the chicks make it's maiden flight, one minute it was stood on the edge of the nest hopping up and down then it was gone, circled round and made a very ungainly landing back into the nest. A magic moment that made up for all the time spent looking at mum sat on the nest.
I did watch one egg hatch last year here at Rutland Water and watched one take it's first flight. It is amazing how these birds clear out the nest of any rubbish and rearrange the twigs. Be a pretty crowded nest here at Rutland when they start to grow..Hope to go over there in a couple of weeks again.
