May 12
Female is close to the edge. After a few seconds ( 45 sec ) you see she's laying an Egg? I'm not sure. It is hard to tell.
Then she flutters the wings and goes into the water.
I think it was around 6 PM, I looked back on the timeline
oh, now I see the time, 6:17 it's so tiny

It's nice to watch them, the male brings nest material, and before copulating, they "dance" and right after, she is leaving and he takes over.
I'm sure we can see if there is a third egg once she get up to leave the nest. At the moment she is sleeping.

And does not disappear under the webcam
