I heard two different voices, one of tchick and one from the egg and sometimes together.
I heard the same voice when the first egg was hatching.

George,Nancy, Do you mean that egg No 2 and No 3 are hatching ?

23:00 A cracking sound? Probably just because I want to hear it...

23:03 Chirping, Piret gets up, but I can´t see a thing.

It's a good question macdoum :) I heard more then one voices together, but I don't know how many voices there were :(
There are holes on the right side egg, as I see.

I think the first chick was in silent under Piret, and now they are talking regulary :)

23:17 Two voices in the dark.

It's definitely more than one voice, but it's too dark to see! I think number two has arrived or is arriving just now!

Now the light is really fading.. never mind daylight is back real soon. ( I see the nest in full daylight before I go to bed..about 2:30 to 3:00 CET)
I hope Piret can keep her 'cool' this time.

23:18 I hear lots of voices... its madddening we can't see.

Just thought the same, soo many voices but can't see anything .

I think it was a duet but the holes were seen in both eggs.

It´ll be exciting to open cam. tomorrow - to see how many chicks are visible

15.06 from earlier today - when Piret bites in the egg


and some Punto pic-selections where the hole in egg is visible and it was clear to see that the chick was moving inside the egg shell




and in the evening too

21.37 Madis came and had fish to his family - Piret took the fish and feeded first junior and then she had some of it for herself too

20.33 Piret has left and Madis try to convince himself that he shall cover junior and the eggs. He was so tender, and afraid of hurting junior that he did not know how he should do best. So he hesitated with the last step and took a look to junior 2 in the egg - - - and then Piret arrived to nest again. The moment was passed by


have a good night to all who are watching - I heard at least two voices few minuts ago

and thanks for reports, pictures and videos during the day and evening

June 17

02:18 I hear a lot of loud chirping.

03:36
Its the day breaking here. Piret is stiing brooding. LOUD birdsong all around.
The cam is pixillating and stuttering but still working.

03:55 Piret is off the nestbowl....walking all around..."Now whats this ?"..,she says..
I see two chicks. Saw one moving but the cam is not playing smoothly yet.

I hope they are both well. I cannot see the third egg.
03:58 Piret is sitting on the chicks again.
Even the cuckoo is awake.
Now,I must... Need some..

03:52 2 chicks!! and Piret in background (with fish?)

HURRAH~! 2 chicks!
