Incubation continues

Update at 20th April: a fine view of the eggs as hatching approaches as captured by Wendy Bartter yesterday (19th):

As we slowly approach hatching there's not a lot happening - but Wendy Bartter has been capturing videos showing the changeovers between the male and female peregrines.

She has been putting links to them on the comments (eg to the last blog post) but here are two of the more recent ones - this one from 15th:

And this one from 16th. Wendy thinks the coloured eggs look a slightly different shape:

As hatching approaches, the female will begin to hear the cheeping of the chicks from inside the eggs.

She will become more 'fidgety', getting up and looking at the eggs and then sitting down on them again.

Hatching often takes place at night.....so we wonder which of you night owls will see a fluffy white chick first?
