"A lovely clear view of the clutch of three eggs" - hmmmm
I am wondering why on earth don't they zoom in for a close up of them? As far as I am aware, and I've been watching quite a bit, the cam has never zoomed in hence there has never been a close "clear view of the three eggs"
It really is such a shame especially with this new £15k state of the art set up in place. Personally I would have thought they would have been itching to show off its capabilities.
