Reminds me the Black Stork nest last year - the eggs were left alone for an hour and a half, and as we learned later, nothing bad happened to them.Lili wrote: I dont know, but I wondered it too. It wasn't first time, at least once I have seen the egg alone about half an hour earlier too
Edit: and they even don't hide the egg, I guess one of them must be near the nest all time
