My first view of the egg:
Lovely, peaceful scene at Manton Bay:
Great to hear of the first egg at Rutland for Mr and Mrs 5R :)))))
Video of 1st egg and 5R being really attentive:

Thanks Alan for the video clip of 5R seeing his and Mrs 5r's egg for the first time..........
It is noticeable how he catches a glimpse of the egg and then his head turns sharpley back again to make sure he has seen right!!!
Such a lovely moment captured :))
Still the one egg at Manton Bay, hopefully number two should arrive some time tomorrow. Nice to see 5R doing his share of incubating at a sunny and warm RW:
Mrs 5R takes a break from incubating to have a stretch:
. . . and 5R does his duty:
Not looked in for a few days.
Change over has just taken place but not sure whether its Mrs or Mr down on the egg.
Calm as a millpond.
