Tucked up in a carefully constructed nest lined with soft, warm fluff a pair of wagtails are in the process of hatching two eggs.

Nature on the Edge 
Those eggs are the most extraordinary colour! I had to look up “wagtail”, too, to see what the bird looks like but there are many varieties. Do you know what kind?
Ours is the Cape wagtail, a handsome variety with a confident jauntiness. I rather like that ours have adapted to urban ways, quite at home in backyards and gardens. I was surprised to read that the genus originated in east Siberia / Mongolia. I’m waiting expectantly for the eggs to hatch and a follow up post on the ‘urban chicks’….
Nice. Never thought that “warmth” can be interpreted this way 🙂
Hopefully we’ll see the results of the incubation soon…..
Needed warmth indeed.
Pleased to report that the eggs hatched 🙂
Liz- love the warmth of the nest and that the eggs hatched! ❤ Jane
