Our male has now been identified as DX Green confirming that it is the bird that was ringed locally about 5 years ago.
Over the last few days Red 6A had been showing signs of laying, and our waiting finally paid off yesterday as she laid her first egg!
Our new male does seem to be getting a little confused though, as it looks like he wants to incubate rather than catch fish! Hopefully he will come to his senses before too long.
We wait in earnest for the 2nd egg....
