Third egg 6th April

The third egg was a bit slow coming. It arrived sometime between 5.45 and 8.30 am on Friday 6th April.
Kate in Devon's screenshot shows all three eggs and the smaller male and larger female at a change over of duties.

If we are to get a fourth and final egg, then we will surely have to wait until Sunday or even Monday.
Thanks to everyone whose comments have kept us all up to speed.

    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!

    All is quiet except for those bells that make me jump because I forget about them.

    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!

    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.
