Spent 2 hours at the nest today. The male was in residence almost throughout, but did leave the hole 5 times for between 3 and 7 minutes. He was clearly agitated when great spots or squirrels passed by, when he'd watch from well back in the hole. On his trips outside he would sometimes call softly. Hopefully they are still incubating. The nest is now registered as part of a national monitoring scheme and we should be able to get a nest cam in there this week.
