How did Fiona and the eggs fare after the heavy rain yesterday TPC?
Eggs did just fine by all appearances - haven't seen them today, the adults have been keeping them firmly covered as it is very sunny on the east side in the mornings. Bit cool out there in the shade, so may not seem them this afternoon either, but I will be scouring through the recordings this evening to see.
Adults got very wet and yes, there was a bit of water in the low point at the far end (near end in photos) but the gravel remained drier around the birds than I think it has in the past. Might be a bit more piled up there or ?? In any case, all look fine.
There was supposed to be close to 100mm of rain forecast for next week but the north winds that brought us these cooler, sunnier days seem to have pushed that weather system out of the area, so while there is still some rain in the next couple of weeks, so long as it doesn't come down in a torrent, the adults should be the only ones getting wet.
