He is squatting over them, not quite down...
WooHoo!! 09.52
Oh dear that didn't last long. He was up after two minutes and then started to mantle.
This shows his wonky wing
09.59 danger has passed and Blue 28(10) is attending to the eggs once more
Still seems to be lots of intruder activity this morning. 28 alarm calling and mantling frequently.

Blue 28(10) has settled back on the eggs again. Whew.
Morning everyone -thanks for updates and Sheila for the pics:)
I know the eggs probably aren't viable but great to see him finally down and incubating. It is good to see he is sticking his ground. I think much is to be learned this year!
Some screenshots:
09:53 something catching his eye
09:54 - up!
09:54 - mantling, an intruder around - 33(11) again ???
Mantles for around 3 minutes or so.
09:57 calm again. I can't help but wonder if his wing is worse or is it just the way the feather is positioned?
10:02 - back to incubating :-)

I missed him arriving - do we know if he brought Maya a fish?
