When I departed  the Peregrine nest site on Saturday I had left the falcon sat quietly on the nest as if brooding even though I was confident that she hadn't laid yet.  I suppose you could describe that as being broody.  She had been on the nests for so long that iit did leave me guessing though.  I knew that after my visit today I would have a much better idea and I half expected her to be on the nest when I arrived. But, as is normal with birds, quite often it's hard to second guess.  Even as I unzipped the hide I could hear a calling bird and I was anxious to see if she was on the nest ledge. Surprisingly, the answer was no!  The distant bird kept calling quite excitedly and then there was the "clucking call" so I suspected that there were now two.  I settled down to write this on my iPad  and I had only written the first sentence when, out of the corner of my eye,  I saw a bird fly to the nest ledge – it was the falcon. After the usual caution, she went on to the nest scrape and then carried out what could only be described as gardening, even using her beak to move some offending small pieces of either rock or bits of soil. So, there you have it, I don't think we have eggs yet. This is my 14th visit to the nest so far since the beginning of March and a total of more than 47 hours, many more to come, we haven't even got an egg yet!
