Nest 2:
This female was also incubating her eggs.  I did not see the male, but I am sure he was around somewhere.  This nest was harder to find than the other one but once I knew where it was it was possible to get a little closer to this one.  The snag of course was that the nest, as always, is at the top of a high tree, so the nearer one gets the more the views are from below.  The only alternative was a very, very distant view.

I only went to view the nest once and I was very lucky.  While I was there the female decided it was time for some exercise, left the nest, flew a couple of circuits and returned to the nest.  My attempts to get pictures of her in flight were less than fully successful, but I present them for what they are worth.

                     

                     

                     

After a couple of circuits, she returned to the nest and settled down.
