Saw a likely looking shillet yesterday as I headed back home and sure enough, tucked away in a tiny depression were these beautifully patterned, camouflaged eggs. There is a second nest upriver and I could see an adult incubating. They must have relaid quickly as only a week or so ago these gravel bars must have been totally submerged, taking all eggs away with it. Watch this space for an update; until then, can you guess who's nest this is?
This blog is about my passions, climbing trees and studying birds. Most are of my own local and licensed bird monitoring, including ringing birds under license. And tree climbing adventures, sharing the magic for when you are stuck in the office and need a spot of day-dreaming to help you through! Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions. For my day job I run Wild Tree Adventures taking people high up into the canopy.
