The last few nights at this time it has been the tiercel on the eggs. They will probably change over before dawn. Lets hope to see some little beaks for the morning!Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284500199021475114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-10310569373901419162010-04-30T22:59:41.892+01:002010-04-30T22:59:41.892+01:00Don't fear Phoebe - one year we were held up b...Don't fear Phoebe - one year we were held up by an egg that took almost twice as long to hatch as normal.

If there is no hatched egg by tomorrow morning is it something to be concerned about? There could already be a hatchling as I have not seen the eggs for a few hours now. Am I right in thinking that when an egg hatches it is likely the shell will be cast from under the sitting bird or maybe eaten by the parent? So we could see an empty shell before we see a chick.<br /><br />This is the first time I have watched the eggs from the start so I am new to seeing peregrine eggs hatch so may be unnecessarily concerned. As I type and egg became visible for a brief moment - it looked in tact. Three eggs visible now.Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284500199021475114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-48891507117017482482010-04-30T22:27:36.023+01:002010-04-30T22:27:36.023+01:0022:21
