Mom is on the eggs at 21:30.
When I checked a bit ago, nobody was on the eggs.
At 22:50 she is fluffed out and crouched over them, but not touching.
At 23:32 she is standing and I can barely see her in the darkness.

Goodness, Mom is worn out! She's asleep over the eggs at 12:42 ...

Still on the snoozey side and lying over the bowl at 14:05, but I did see her preen a little just a minute before.

Both times I've checked the nest today, handsome has been incubating the eggs. I am hoping Mom lays a 4th egg tonight before the parapet lights go out, but that will be cutting it close. So if not, maybe another egg will be revealed 1st thing in the morning!!

I've checked 2 more times this afternoon and it's been him on duty. Would like to see her today ...

At 17:33, just the eggs, so she will probably be in shortly.

:shock

Goodness, she's home at 18:20, but I could only see the profile of the back end of her body and couldn't tell what she was doing. Directly she exited the nest with a bloody, hunk of prey that had 1 leg sticking out from each side of her beak!!

Well, that was interesting.

Eggs were alone for a little more than 30 min. Mom arrives with supper...but, couldn't decide to eat it in the box or not..she since has left with it.

Oops...while I was typing, someone has returned and is on the eggs.
