The Herring Gull that has not budged from the nest for the last fortnight keeps getting up off the nest. I hope the eggs are ok. She gets up before she looks at them, wanders about a bit and sits back down again, so I'm guessing she's getting fidgety.
Ideally I will still be here when they do finally hatch but they are not due for another fortnight at least (I can learn all sorts about herring gulls when revising oceanography don't 'cha know).
Patience is a virtue I guess!
