Hi CC, I was here but not here. :) did see the fly in but was trying to figure out why I wasn't hearing sound earlier this morning.

Hi CC, just a note, I am not getting on the cam as multi-tasking right now. Will check in later.

11:37 am
Adult arrives on the nest.

Looks around for a minute or so.
20230203_006.jpg

Then up to the little perch.

And flew off at 11:39 am.

And then an adult flew in (I think with a modest sized branch) - and off again before I could get a s'cap.

1441 - I just checked the rollback to Judy's last update and did not catch any visits. That wind is unbelievable though!

The good news is that the pollen count is low....
20230203_012.jpg

And now that I have the wind to listen to, I'm very sure both mics are working!


Stay safe, everyone!


Off topic - it's -21C here in Maine, with winds a bit higher than what you have in Surrey, so currently feels like -32C they say (I have not been out to feel this myself!!). Being a bit of a math geek, I find it interesting that -40 degrees is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit - and that is relevant, because it's likely to get that cold tonight here, and I'm not that far inland from the coast of Maine - first time it's been this cold here in 50 years. The inland mountains get colder than we do - I don't want to think what it might be there tonight - and do hope that they cancelled night skiing!

5:09 pm
Both adults on the nest.

First one....
20230203_013.jpg

Then the second one coming in
20230203_014.jpg

And both together briefly, before one of them left.

Looking at he cams, the nest seems to be moving about a whole lot when viewed from the South cam, but I'm not seeing the background move much on the North cam, so I think it's the South cam tree that's swaying, and the North cam tree (with the nest) is pretty solid.
