Was watching the birds very early this morning, at first light, and Princess was on the nest, and she was very restless, picking at the gravel and tossing it around and seemed unable to sit still for any length of time. She re-arranged the gravel within her reach , then re--rearranged it again ( this is where the term NESTING comes from .. lol )
She was pipping ( talking ) to herself and to the eggs.
( encouragement?). then she'd look up in the sky.. shift positions, and do it again.
Keeping our fingers crossed for a viable nest ... the birds are getting impatient, as are we all !
