Incubating at 2135, at nest
I did not find any birds laying or with eggs if still on incubation. 15.
The wind was very strong and I had to wait until the next day for a better time to visit.
It was difficult to see the birds without being too close, but it is necessary to get good data.
I noticed that the birds were more active than usual during the afternoon.
