Incubating eggs just outside the garage, and very hard to see unless you know she’s there, most noticeable are her orange cheeks and her tail sticking up against the wall; the nest is in a tray that forms part of the hose pipe holder and is about three feet off the ground. The plank was put there a few weeks ago, singled out for use on a not yet built sheep activity centre, so maybe that’s why it’s a relatively safe place to be; sheltered from the wind and rain by the overhanging garage roof. Incubation of the eggs will take 13 days and fledglings take a few weeks to become independent. A misty start to a very sunny and warm day.
