Update for Thursday, March 21, 2024
Astrid spent most of the night in the nestbox. She did a few long sittings in the box during the course of the day – despite the cold and blustery weather. Interestingly, they did practice incubation switches at least a half dozen times. They are obviously anticipating the arrival of a clutch of eggs. Of course, exactly when that will start happening, we can’t say, but we are now two days outside of the egg-laying window.
