Sitting pretty, just waiting for the stork to bring the first egg. Then what was that, did something just come out of me?
|

I'm sure something is under there. Yes, it's my first egg. You can just see it poking out.
|
| Apr 20 |
I had better sit on it to keep it warm, I wonder when the next one will come?
|

Just checking that the egg is still there. Yes, and I might as well give it a turn while I'm looking at it... I suspect that somebody might be watching so I'll give them a good view of the egg.

Quick, get to the edge of the nest, it's almost here. Fluff up and PUSH. Phew, out it comes... Better just check that everything is OK, yes there's now two eggs in my nest.

Come on mate, I've been doing all the hard work in here, where's my breakfast?
|

|
You can just see the two eggs as I inspect and turn them so they stay warm on all the sides... and now taking time off to go and stretch my wings, the eggs will stay warm by themselves for a little while.

For the rest of the day she continues sitting on the eggs, barely leaving the nest. Incubation has started
