FOUR EGGS
It's Tuesday and we have four eggs, that's one a day since Saturday.
She lays one every morning then spends all day out and about returning between 7.30-8pm fussing around the eggs then sleeping on top of them. There can be anything up to 15 eggs per breeding pair. The average amount of eggs however, tends to be 7-8 per nest. Once she's finished laying she'll pluck the feathers from her belly to create a brood spot she'll incubate the eggs alone.

It's all very cute..... until the belly-plucking.
