Last season Louis and Aila arrived on their nest almost at the same instant on the 4th of April. Here's to a repeat, but a few days earlier to save our anxiety.

Louis took over @ 05:47, Aila returned 06:52 with something small in her foot:
She had to lift Louis up from under his tail to get him off, and he was back with a stick which he put on Aila's tail, she left and he took over incubation - still there now.
Aila comes back at 08.38 and takes over incubation
Louis flies off
Aila fiddles around her as she sits
She is giving the eggs a roll at the moment 08.54 am

Aila was incubating, then decided to take a fly about, Louis immediately appeared to incubate the eggs, Aila came back and had to muscle Louis out of the way.
She has just laid at 10.29 3 eggs there now
Good girl Aila
This is her muscling Louis off the egg, with a sense of urgency LOL
She is puffed out and laying her third egg
and then there was 3

I know Sheila, I half expected to see she had laid before she got in the cup, she just made it in time
Louis incubating and then Aila arrives with a clump of bedding As they changed over I saw the 3 eggs but wasn't quick enough to capture As at Dyfi one looks white
Well done Mary on two counts: a) seeing the laying & b) getting the time spot on, 10.29 v your prediction of 10.30. Ian
