Re: Lady Chatsworth News

LOL....yeh, I won't second guess her. When she DOES sit on her nest she
will give you a good "going over" if you get close to her. She doesn't
want ANYbody or anyTHING to get close to her and her eggs. And she does
a really great job of covering up her nest when she isn't there. If I
didn't know that she had a nest and was sitting on it...I would NEVER
know it by walking by when she's gone. Totally camouflaged. She's so
smart. I'll try to get some pics of her on her nest and her with her
"man". He usually hangs out by the pond now that she is on a nest.
