I guess I would be condidered a 'lady in waiting'. It was on June 28th, that we saw the first eggshell drop from one of the nests. So we have been watching faithfully since that day, hoping to see the new baby Martins try out their wings. Still no sign of them. There is a lot of comings and goings by the parent birds, but no sign of the little ones yet, that we are sure of.
That would be a great watching opportunity, my boys would love it. So would I actually. As a kid in NZ, I did a bird watching/counting project for girl guides on our 15 acres of native bush. NZ has some lovely birds, Australia does too but I don't know them so well yet.
