Loved the video, RCF. 

I wish they would turn around...don't they realize they're on camera?!

It's part of the game.  "Ok, ready. Watch me get the egg!"

These guys just got fed and after mom left one kid did a poop shot and it looks like it made the egg fall over, even though I know it was just the wind or some kind of wind. ;D  ;D

Yeah....I was thinkin' the same thing!

Kinda like Sam the bunny looking at a wall. Mesmerized by something that is just part of the environment.
Animals, who knows what is going through their heads?
Gotta love them no matter what.

I agree, Ballywing - Yikes!  Wind is sure not allowing Princess to relax much :(

Just another day when things could be so much different if another choice had been made :-X

Will Princess eventually "toss" the non-viable egg over the side of the building?  Or just let it sit there and when you do the banding you will remove?   ??? 

She might remove the egg, or Ivy could.  Or they could eventually break it or it could eventually be broken as a result of normal life on the nestledge.  Will we retrieve it at banding?  We might or we might leave it.  Depends on whether we have a purpose for it and/or its easy to retrieve when we get up there ...

Not the yes/no answer you were looking for, but more accurate  :)

Morning Chronology ...

0430ish - light enough to get a blurry look at Princess on the ledge
0615h - first meal
0813h - second meal
1030h - Princess still on chicks ... breezy today and from the amount of shake in the camera, I'm thinking south-ish ...

Interestingly, Ivy's in the nestbox ... looking upwards and yakking at someone ... he is very suspicious of something flying overhead and he's off with a mission now ... and he's back 90 seconds later, still scanning overhead ...


Forecast for today ...

Saturday
Day - Partly cloudy. High of 22C. Breezy. Winds from the SE at 15 to 20 km/h.
Night - Partly cloudy in the evening, then overcast. Low of 12C. Winds from the ESE at 10 to 15 km/h.
