Got Rey spotted looks like he’s escorting a few larger birds out of the area south east of the nest
Re: Surrey Reserve 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion
1:12 pm in rollback, something to Brit's attention. She is up, vocalizes and flies. But she returns quickly and vocalizes.

1:16 pm in rollback, Brit returns to the nest bowl and does some maintenance. Can see how perfectly formed the nest bowl is. She lies down and back up again to give her egg a roll. She then laid down again.

Thanks, Ryan, for eyes on the ground. Rey is such a great protector and provider.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion
Thanks, Ryan, for the article. I read one on delayed incubation and if I remember correctly, the temps for the egg development range from about 84 (28 c) degrees to 105 degrees (41 c appx). Of course the nest bowl plays a part in development. And Brit and Rey have a very nice deep bowl.Ryan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:06 pmhttps://raptorresource.blogspot.com/201 ... n.html?m=1
I had this bookmarked , great article about delay incubation for us , also David Hancock is referenced in the article we are so blessed to have David as his work is known and most respected ! Well done David !!
Just wanted to share this for visitors seeing Brit and Rey not fully covering or sitting there is no need to worry

1:27 pm Brit is up and on alert with vocals. She certainly is keeping watch and doesn't like what she sees.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion
Out for a walk around noon, I caught Rey (at least I think it is Rey) leaving the nest (12:10), perching in a tree across the way (12:14) and then returning to the nest (12:15). Unfortunately, I was quite a distance away and the skies were pretty gloomy so it doesn't make for very detailed shots.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion
12:15 pm in rollback and out of sequence. Well, holy moly, I totally skipped a change of guard mid-day. Thanks skyleynhans for your post to call attention to the change. Brit flies and Rey comes in for egg duty.

1:12 pm in rollback and out of sequence, Rey is up, vocalizes and flies. Maybe Ryan this is when he took on a chase. Brit returned to the nest a minute later.
I had forgotten how active these two can be when they have an egg to protect.

Re: Surrey Reserve 2023-2024 Observation and Discussion
1:57 pm in rollback, so let's get back in sync after I completely skipped one change of the guard. Brit is in the nest and she gets up to fly. The egg is partially covered with nesting material.
