The mystery of the fifth egg has been solved. June 22nd 2023

22 June 2023

One of our regular owl watchers witnessed a stock dove egg appearing recently.

She writes ….

“Hello, I just wanted to get a message to the person who does the owl cam blog. They have written that an extra egg has been laid. In fact this is a pigeon egg as I witnessed it being kicked into the nest box when the female was clearing twigs from the box entrance. I posted on your Facebook page about it. After a couple of hours she seem to notice it just laying there away from her own eggs and promptly rolled it over and started to incubate it too.
So I think it will be very interested when/if it hatches!”
