(7 June)
♀1109. Apparently breeding now (!) incestuously with
her brother ♂1110. (Based on 7 eggs in nest).
Became a breeder 15 Dec 1985 ± 2 months.
♂1110. Now breeding (incestuously) with ♀1109.
This group now (apparently) consists of 1 breeding
♂(1110) and 2 breeding ♀♀ - ♀1109 and ♀872 - themselves
unrelated, but ♂1110 and ♀1109 are sibs. An interesting
group!
