The adult male is the same male (he is ringed) but we think the female is a new bird as she doesn’t have the aberrant white feather on her head which has been present in previous years.
3 eggs have been laid which is a normal clutch size for hobbies.
Egg 1, 2nd June 6:47 pm
Egg 2, 5th June 6:46 am (60 hours)
Egg 3, 7th June 8:04 pm (61.25 hours)
Hatching should start approx. end of the first week in July
Hasty snaps to start us off:

A quick run thru of the morning showed that all was well.
The first day I noticed "dragonflies" being offered - just small versions, not clearly snappable.

Hot & sunny, eyas is climbing the walls:
31 July
Cam has been buffering so I've switched it off here - all looks well with eyas up to that point.
EDIT 20:10 - they rebooted and it's back to normal.

Lovely footage Scylla, still a cute little fluffball but wish he wouldn't keep balancing on the edge of that basket ... worries me so!
