So pleased that you caught that changeover Kate, there's another later when female returned but I missed that ... she us currently on the eggs calling out ... interesting to see the pale colour of third egg, wonder what the fourth one will be?

61 hours between 2nd and 3rd egg, on that timeline it could be around 8a.m. on Tuesday for the 4th one🤔🤯

There was an extremely long standoff this afternoon when the male would not relinquish eggs to his partner forcing her to 'insist', he does love to incubate ... he had already been on the eggs for a long time before this footage starts ...
