!!! Both adult residents on site, multiple copulations observed!

5:58pm - While both resident adults were visible for about 45 minutes today while I was onsite, the pair were very busy this evening. Several copulations between the two were observed, each time with the adult male returning back to the corner of the nest ledge, followed by the female. The adult female then disappeared back into the nest ledge where she stayed for 8 to 10 minutes at a time. She re-appeared and the two repeated the entire exercise over the 45 minutes that I was on site.

Sadly I didn’t have a camera with me as the observation view from Avonhead Road is a fantastic vantage point to see the birds and the nest ledge! I’ll be bringing the camera next time for sure!!

It would appear that the two are not yet incubating any eggs, but egg production is just days away.
stay tuned…………
