Pa up to do a little digging around the edge of the bowl, nudges eggs slightly and goes down facing 3 o’clock
I would rather spend my life close to the birds than wishing I had wings

Pa still down on eggs in same position just looking around
Nest still appears very wet it must be a misty rain as it’s not really visible on the cam. The odd time you can see and hear drops

Rain has picked up a little now Pa looking somewhat soggy also
9:39 am
Drops can be seen running off Pa’s back now; he’s made no calls since starting his shift at 7:28 am
9:44 am
Ma flies in at 1 and comes down beside Pa, he gets up and exits at 8-ish and Ma settles in facing 9 o'clock
