EJ resting but not quite fully roosting. Quite blustery at LG at the moment.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
She does seem restless tonight, just had another shuffling of the eggs and is gently cheeping now and again.Could we have a hatch tonight?

Is it my imagination, or has she spread her body a bit wider ... like she did when she was laying the eggs? Maybe to give a little more room for hatching?

her head's down again. I have my volume and LGs volume as high as poss. I'm sure I heard a cheep from beneath her....maybe it's me just WANTING to hear it!!
Ha Joan, but didn't Tiger suggest 20 May, so we still have a few hours!

Somethings caught her attention, she keeps looking around.

i'm sure I'm not imagining this...I can hear 'cracking'
That wind has got up again!

Sheila it varies an awful lot. A few years ago at Bassenthwaite there was no chicks at dusk and two at dawn.

21.33 I can really hear a cracking noise intermittantly now. It's not the wind in the background it's coming from the nest. Bet we'll have a hatching by tomorrow
