Mrs. Little is quietly calling out for her man....the Dove is obviously incubating an egg and has not left....haven't been able to watch the whole time but I wonder if any prey or bugs have been delivered.....anyone else watching out there?

Welcomejudy....yeah this is not a very good situation. Not sure who will give up but Mrs. Little I think is done laying her eggs and is starting to "hard" incubate....she needs food and Mr. Little needs to see her.....

been watching this cam all night so far and Mrs. L has tried numerous times to get out...she continues to call out for her other half and he is a no show. This battle of this box is going to be a tough one. Kinda sad to be honest. I wish the Rock Pigeon would leave but she is stubborn and we are at a stalemate. Don't Know

Soph, it's about 4 hours since your post, and still no change. Mrs L calling, dove lurking, and no sign of Mr L. I see a dove sitting in the kestrel box too. Maybe they're taking over the world....:blink:

Translation of the night events:

11:34, Wednesday, April 28, 2010

While we do not know exactly what is in the blind spot, camera in the porch playing, everything indicates that the Pigeon Hole there are now also breeding. The pigeons are now day and night and defended fiercely by wing beat. They prevent the owls entering the vestibule. This means that women no longer from the Little Owl breeding male Little Owl and space can no longer in the hive can be, despite multiple attempts last night and last night. Whether this situation will remain difficult to predict. We understand the anxious reactions he evokes in viewers, and the demand for action. Yet we will not intervene. Apart from the appointment at Experience the Spring that we do not intervene in the natural processes occurring webcams play, any intervention in the sense of disturbance of the birds nest (remove eggs or birds from making their nest entering) a breach of statutory protection rules in the Flora and Fauna. Although the Little Owl is a vulnerable species on the Red List is called, is the legal protection of Owl Rock Pigeon Hole and right. Competition between brothers nest hole is a natural phenomenon we see in many "natural" nest sites, such as cavities in trees or in barns. That is the law of the jungle. Not always fun to see, but it's part of nature. STONE

This is really sad...seems as though Mrs. L is trapped....she really needs to make a break and I guess the Pigeon and owl will need to fight it out!
