Waiting for the first egg to hatch - Update Sunday 17th April

Wendy Bartter has spotted a big hole in one of the eggs this evening - so hatching is just about to happen!! See her video made today:

It can't be long now before the first egg hatches.....so do send in a comment as soon as you see anything white and fluffy underneath her when she stands up....

This clear screengrab of the eggs was taken by Kate in Devon on Wednesday afternoon....no obvious sign of any chips then.....

Time 16:46, April 17 - there appears to be a hole chipped in one egg and possibly a beak in view.

It looks like the first egg that was laid is the first one to hatch, although I find it tricky to tell the difference between egg 1 and 3. Egg number 2 was the 'white egg' so perhaps that one will be the next to hatch.
