Thanks to everyone whose comments have kept us all up to speed.
If you are new to the project, scroll down to previous posts to read about the earlier eggs......

She is covering them right now. Lets hope tonight she lays a 4th one.
Glad to see you Vicky, extra pair of eyes, been very little movement today, she's mostly hunkered down on those eggs, not seen how many for ages!
Changeover @ 20.35 ... still THREE!!
Mrs DP back on eggs @ 21.14
All is quiet except for those bells that make me jump because I forget about them.
Yippee ... It is here!!!

An insomniac night does sometimes have its advantages! So pleased to see Wendy's capture on youtube that Mrs P has yet again produced her fourth egg. Hopefully we'll see 4 more chicks after the incubation period so long as Mr P is more careful where he's placing those talons!
Now she is tired from all the work she has done. Yay for the last egg!
Brilliant Mr and Mrs P and fab video capture from our Wendy Excellent and many thanks,
will put scap on Flickr for posterity..
A little history, in May of 2015 - first chick hatched May 5th, second one May 6th, third one May 7th. I didn't put down the 4th. That was the year we only had 3 I think.
So we have some time to wait. I didn't record when they were laid that year.
