Its warm in the box, so much so that Princess has her head in the shade and she's playing umbrella for the eggs. She's half-standing with her wings down so that eggs are shaded and she can keep a breeze blowing through/across. She's been panting abit as well.

All quiet in the box this morning, Princess is on the eggs with her back is to the cameras and her head is down and dead to the world (figuratively speaking). There are still four eggs and we aren't expecting more - she had a little houseclean amongst the pebbles around her and she got off the eggs enough to count them all easily. Haven't seen Ivy so far today.

Princess is still on the eggs, but I suspect she's wanting a shift change ... more than suspect, she jumped off the eggs as I typed 17 words of this post. Eggs are uncovered and just on the edge of the shade - the sun is swinging around to the west side of the Hotel and is almost at the eggs now. She'd been looking around at something outside of camera range and considering how long she's been on the eggs, could be a meal, could just be a stretch of the wings flight or it could be shift change .... and its now 1356 hrs and Ivy is on the eggs, head undercover, tail feathers sticking just a wee bit out (nice to be that small thinks Princess). He's a sucker for staying cool and dry in the nestbox - remember last year when it was raining like crazy and there he was with three 3/4 grown kids all undercover in the nestbox. Okay, 1358 hrs and Ivy has turned himself around so he can look out. Had a buzz around with the skycam and couldn't see her, so she's somewhere just out of range taking a break or dining ...

Ivy was on the eggs a wee bit ago but now Princess is back ... think she had something to eat while she was away ... there is a feather hanging out of her mouth . :D All is very very quiet in the box. She's totally zonked out, eyes closed, beak practically in the gravel and she's tucked right into the box and facing slightly away from the "outdoors" and she seems totally oblivious to anything going on outside. Seems to be very quiet outside the box as well as she's not getting woken up and Ivy hasn't been checking up on her.
Its suppose to go to 17C today so they (the adults) should be able to have a nice nap in the sun this afternoon. That gravel has to be chilly to lie on at night and in the early mornings. It felt like -5C at 5 am this morning (brrr). Right now its 9C so its definitely getting warmer out there.
