I was coming in to report that both adults were at the nest at 12:45 - and the cam went down. I've sent an email to Richard. And I did get a pic:


Added:
Cam is back up - thanks, Richard!

6:52PM
the cam was down again for sometime this afternoon and I've only now found it working! Maybe I can get lucky and catch a glimpse of the eggs I wonder how long there will be enough light to see anything?

At the moment the adult is facing about 11oclock and all is calm

7:07PM

'the branch' is moving gently in the wind and the adult is looking around. come on! Get up for me


7:11PM
calling behaviour

7;13 adult looking right, then left..


7;15Pm up off the eggs caught only a quick glimpse
preening

7:17PM
adult has moved to about 8oclock to feed from a nestover?

Eggs look intact

no decided to exit out from there for a few seconds


Adult returns and rolls the eggs before settling on them

Nothing seen in my 's'caps to indicate a pip.

5:54 am
Mild wind blowing.
An adult is in incubating position, wide awake and looking about.

6:35 am
Adult got up in a big rush and left the nest.
Second adult arrives and turns the eggs. This looks like the male taking over incubation.

11:04AM
Eggs all alone in the nest - close one looks like maybe a pip?
far one is covered by leaf on close branch
almost wishing for some wind

11:03 PDT

Just brought the cam up to an empty nest.


Is that a crack in the egg or dirt??


11:07, Parent back on the eggs.

11:08
adult back - rolled eggs slightly
settling back down on them
