There have been interesting
developments with the nest box. We first checked the nest box on the 9th of
October, nine weeks after it was installed and were very surprised to find two
Ruru eggs but no sign of the parents. Nine days later we checked again and
found the eggs in exactly the same spot with still no bird in attendance. The
nest was considered abandoned so we took the eggs out a couple of days later.
We blew them and found that the eggs were not fertile. We have applied to DOC for a permit to have possession of eggs of a native species.
It
is now four weeks later. We have not checked again to see if there is any more
activity. A job we must do.
