Egg number two arrives on Monday 20th March

Apologies: we have had technical problems affecting our webcams. We hope this is now resolved, but further interruption could still occur.

The second egg appeared during the day (20th), and a third egg was laid around 23rd - but our cameras were unable to record when this happened.  A fourth egg is highly likely.


The eggs featured on ITV Central News the same day as shown in this clip captured by the ever watchful Wendy:



 
This screengrab is by Helen Naylor:



Wendy Bartter also took this video which shows two eggs about a minute in: 



The interval between eggs is normally about 56 hours give or take so we can hope for the next one late on Wednesday and the final egg on Friday night/Saturday morning all being well.

Are the streams down now?

project team said...

Both streams are now down while complex technical problems are being sorted out for us by our partners at the city council who help us get connectivity.
Hopefully they will be back up by tomorrow or at least before the third egg.
Sorry for the break in transmission....

Great pity that the cams went down at this stage, likely be three eggs to see when they come back online! 🤞🤞🤞🤞 everyone!

I can get cam#2 now but not cam#1 ... anybody else getting the same?

Peregrine Project Member (Nick M.) said...

I'm the same Wendy. Tim sent me a text earlier this evening to say he's made a temp fix, and will set things up on a new firewall tomorrow. We were expecting some changes to the network configuration later this month anyway, so this might now form part of those changes being brought forward. I can't guarantee an uninterrupted service, but hopefully any breaks will be short-lived. I'm keen to see if we have any more eggs, too. Nick

Wendy Bartter said...

Thanks for the info Nick, can get both cams on my laptop, just not on the tablet! Couldn't resist a little vid, she looks well settled on ??? eggs!

Interesting to see that the third egg has more colour than the previous two, and is a typical reddish brown colour.

Wendy Bartter said...

Male comes in & takes over incubation ... could this mean the clutch is complete
