We got a close up view of the three eggs

In this image you can see the newest egg at the back right side is apparently a half and half in color - as the first egg. Now that it has dried, it is still redder than the first. I would describe it as a mahogany color. The first egg is closest to Lady's foot in the foreground

Another view showing the color difference between egg 1 and 3. Egg 1, dark liver color closest to the cam and the rusty mahogany of egg 3 in the back

1815BST

Lady just stood up - nest defense posture. Cam controller zoomed in with a perfect view of the three eggs. Their markings and coloring are very clear in this image.

1930 BST

Lady had been chirping for awhile when 7Y landed with a fish for her. She wasted no time getting up to accept - well take - it. She ate a couple of bites on the nest rim and then flew off with it. 7Y then took up incubation duties

Both are home at this time. Mom brooding while Dad stands watch.

1700 BST

7Y gives Lady a break and takes over incubation duties

1723 BST

Lady quietly incubating when she suddenly went into full alarm mode

contd

An intruder landed on the far side of the nest - Lady in full attack posture while protecting the eggs.

The intruder did not land and stay, he barely touched down on the nest before he was gone. Did not even see an entire image of him/her.
