It’s been SO busy this week, with the box hardly empty for more than a few minutes. Prey being brought in regularly (mainly starlings, but with a couple of noisy miners and an unlucky eastern rosella) even today with horrible sleet, rain and strong winds, and mostly being handed over quietly, so a noticeable improvement in manners.
Lots of interaction also, at least frequent, but not long-lasting. Quite a bit of scrape ‘preparation’, although little left to do unless they want to make a hole in the floor! But a lot of just sitting quietly in the scrape…and here is a sample of Diamond, just a few minutes ago.

PS Thanks to Sue for sending in the data spreadsheets. I’ll get to it Sunday or next week. Had it this week!
Is there a problem with the “night light?” Everything seemed fine last night (Saturday), but tonight it doesn’t appear to be switching on.
How many peregrines does it take to change a lightbulb? *runs*
I’ll see what I can do this week. Don’t want to miss an egg-laying!

Diamond is looking very egg-makerish this morning – hope she doesn’t beat you to it!
