Has the Cranes egg hatched ?
Rushy
The 24 hour watch on the Cranes nest has had tantalizing glimpses of what might be the chick but no really good sighting yet. Lets hope today is the day. A watch is being mounted from the Peng Observatory but also check from Infocus and the wooden Rushy Hide.
The hours of watching are paying dividends Yesterday a Red Kite and a first summer little Gull.
