Thanks, everyone. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.

I went to the nest yesterday afternoon for the first time in a week, due to the weather. Both birds are busy reconstructing the nest and they are really making up for the mistakes made last year, when they barely bothered with a nest cup, which had tragic results. The nest cup is so deep, that each bird almost vanishes into it when they're making adjustments.

I don't know how these shots will post. I'm trying something a bit different as some of my photos recently have resulted in the bird's dark feathers looking far too cinnamon coloured. The blue background is the river, not the sky.
