7 September - the incubation period starts
In the last 24 hours, there have been a few teething problems with the viewing of the webcam on Africam, and the live chat facility on Ustream. I'm happy to report that everything is fixed and (hopefully) will run smoothly from now on.

The correct Ustream chat link is:

I tried getting on to the chat yesterday but had problems too.

Pot Plant Owl looks quite content in her pot plant. She is completely unfaxed by her Starling visitors who come in and steal her feathers for their nest (the loose feathers, that is).I hope the Starlings and other birds realise that PPO's calm attitude around them will not be for long. As soon as the chicks arrive and there are plenty of hungry mouths to feed, PPO will be looking at these birds differently. For now, it is great to see everyone living in harmony.

9:46pm- Another visit by Pappa!

AWw Love seeing Pappa visiting the nest..
