Both nests were started within a day of each other, must have been prompted by a couple of warm days following some wet days we had here. Good start!

If he is now sitting tight dont forget to pull the hen and keep her out of earshot.

I found the cock birds dont like to be watched when they are on the nest.

Great pics by the way.

Thanks Lukec. I've moved her as far away as possible, but short of moving her into the house, she'll still be within earshot! He's sitting tight so far, but he did only start incubating yesterday
