With death comes life and how true that is at the botanic park and what a salve it proves to be – not to mention a diversion for John, who appears at the end of every long hot day looking like a badly beaten mud wrestler….   The stats so far are this, Sunset and Juan Beans seven eggs, laid on the 13th May and Elizabeth and Forrest laid on the 15th May a whopping 17 eggs.  This is an extraordinarily early start to the laying season, we are anticipating several females to double clutch as a result.  How good it is to look forward.
