Thu 15 April It is very rare for our bird to leave the eggs totally uncovered for long periods. Here she leaves the cup for a few seconds... with seven eggs now in place (one partly hidden). |

Tue 27 April Still sitting on those eggs...... Last year (see the archive), the bird laid the last of her 10 eggs on 18 April - the same day as this year. The first chicks hatched on 29 April - that'll be this Thursday if the timing is the same! |
