Iiris is on the nest. Ivo is on a tree. Very windy, but there is no rain and not cold ... Hooray. Summer is coming soon.

Slight movement of the branches on the nest. Ivo brings branches, but they often stay where he put them.
Irma tried to put them away from the center. Iiris is not very concerned about this yet.

Iiris briefly landed on the nest with a half- eaten fish. She stood there for a short moment and then was gone again.
Apparently, she changed her mind about sharing her dinner with Ivo

I've been hearing little sounds which could be pips, but the wind is also strong and it might be sticks rubbing together. Hope, hope, hope

10:21 I'm definitely hearing little sounds now. They go awhile then stop, then start again. And Iiris just stopped, looked down under her and got up and moved the eggs. Is it too early?

10:27 Iiris flew off for a few minutes and I could see the eggs. I swear the large back egg rocked a little twice = small movement.

Thanks, Bea - I was trying to figure out the dates but couldn't find our written info about comparisons to previous years. Darn, anyway.

Iiris flew away, the eggs are basking in the sun.
