She just stood up for a moment, and then settled back down. I think there are 3 eggs visible. What do you think? There was a post that mentioned only two.

Taken 12:39pm April 8th 2010.

I'm amazed that you could get such a good picture of the eggs, the way the tree is moving at present, Ian! And I can see how it does look as if there might be three.

However, this is a picture Richard took on April 4, when he was at Lafarge hooking up the cam for the internet:

and much as I'd like to think there's a third egg hiding there somewhere - it really doesn't seem likely.

I am guessing we'll have a chance to see more once the storm is over, so hopefully we'll know for certain then.

The adult was up briefly and out of sight of the cam; I had a good look at the eggs and could only see two.

I'm thinking the adult now on the nest looks like a female - and I'm not sure if it's the same one as was here before. With luck we'll have a few nice, quite days to get to know this pair when they're not swaying back and forth in front of the cam window - and then we'll be able to make better guesses about who is who.

1:39 pm
Adult up and off the eggs for another brief period.
It's still windy, but doesn't seem like the gale it has been.
This is when sound would be nice - not sure if she(?) is calling for him to come in for a shift, now that the worst of the storm has hopefully passed.

1:43 pm
Nice view of two eggs - it seems it is the discoloured one that has gone!
Wonder if there was something wrong with it!


That's Mum behind the tree, By the Way!!
