12 April 2007: Seventh egg, and brooding?
April 13th, 2007One more egg, and in the afternoon it looks like the female is starting to brood the eggs, but it only lasts a few minutes, and then she leaves again. This is repeated a few times, no real brooding. However, it is unusally warm today so maybe she thinks the eggs will get too hot. In the evening she returns, but contrary to previous nights she doesn’t go to sleep immediately, but leaves the nest for short moments on several occasions before finally turning in for real.
