Glesni has laid three eggs again this year, just as she did in 2015. These are her 8th, 9th and 10th eggs.

Many people ask us whether ospreys lay eggs at night, well here is the answer...

This is how she did it, three eggs condensed down into two minutes:

Have you ever seen such a white egg as the third one laid? We're not sure we have. Maculation (putting the ink spots on) is the last process of forming an egg - it looks like Glesni has completely run out of ink! We've ordered a new magenta cartridge for her.

Seriously, birds' eggs can differ significantly within a species and even individuals; here is a clear demonstration of that. Theories of why there is a maculation process at all vary, but they largely hinge on camouflage as being the main reason.

A female osprey takes around two to three hours short of three days to produce and lay an egg, Glesni was absolutely bang-on this year, the second and third being laid around two days and 21 hours after the previous egg.

Blue 24 is still incubating her egg(s) but we have noticed her spending more time off the eggs today. We haven't seen her eating since last Wednesday, four days ago, but we can't see her 100% of the time when she is not on the nest, so she may have caught a fish for herself, we just don't know. Monty was last seen mating with Blue 24 on Friday afternoon, so he seems to have broken off any bond with Blue 24 for the time being.

UPDATE 20:30 - Blue 24 feeding on her nest, she has caught the fish herself.

Will Glesni lay a fourth egg? Probably not. Around 1% - 2% of osprey clutches result in four eggs. If she does though, be sure to check in early Tuesday evening on the Live Streaming to find out.
