The falcon will leave her egg on its own and that is quite normal.
Incubation will not start until the third or fourth egg is laid.

Well snapped Justin
ReplyDeleteOnly just seen the egg and put on flickr
Wonderful news, great screengrabs!
ReplyDeleteShe is cuddling her egg at 09.40, cam #2 still not working!
ReplyDeleteCAM 2 still offline.
ReplyDeleteand just our egg sitting proudly in centre of box.
We will have to keep our eye on the markings of each egg so as we can determine who is who at hatch CHOL:):) but with our lovely Wendy's vids, we can always go back.
She has chosen to settle with her egg again tonight, maybe another by Monday lunchtime??
ReplyDeleteThought we would have had another by now is it same female as last year
ReplyDeleteTrying to calculate is quite difficult as we do not have a definite time for first egg's arrival, hoping for sometime today!
ReplyDeleteLooking hopeful for 2nd egg??

It is great news Wendy. I was watching from about 2pm. I have finally worked out how
ReplyDeleteto post my screen grabs on Flickr :-)
That's good news Jean, did you see the moment she laid the egg?
ReplyDeleteHi can you let me know if camara 2 Is not working or is it my phone?. So pleased to hear a second egg.
ReplyDeleteCam #2 still offline Christine!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I didn’t actually see when she laid the egg Wendy. She is very good at keeping the eggs hidden
ReplyDeleteuntil she is ready to leave them…..
Apologies re. the lack of the second web cam. Attempts will be made tomorrow to get it back online but this will involve a visit to the cathedral tower.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know ref camara no 2, it's still good to watch.the one camara.
ReplyDeleteBoth cameras offline now maybe the weather 🙈 i asked the other day, is it the same female as last year? Nice to be back 🦅
ReplyDeleteCan’t see either camera- is it me?
ReplyDeleteNo, Emma, it's not you. We have put up a notice on our webcam page, explaining that a technical issue with some equipment essential to internet connectivity appears to be faulty. Tim Unwin from Derby City Council's Network Team is looking into this today as a priority, and we hope to know more later today.
ReplyDeleteIn essence, a fault with a DHCP server means our system has lost all the unique individual IP addresses that allow communication to occur. In other words, bit of kit like cameras, routers and wireless links don't know how to talk to each other right now until the server is fixed.
I attempted to reboot our camera equipment yesterday from inside the Cathedral Tower, but I'm that only caused the other working address to disappear too!
