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 ...
