Everything is safe and well at the Dippers nest today. The male visited the nest after catching some prey and the female is still leaving the nest to feed more regularly than you would imagine, at least once an hour. At one time she emerged from the nest with a beech leaf, dunked it in to the water and took it back to the nest. Natures way of ensuring the correct level of humidy in the nest no doubt. I am assuming that incubation started last Sunday or Monday it's day 7 or 8 of incubation now.
