egg check....nothing yet that I can see...

Hopefully we'll start seeing some pips here...

The general feeling on the Italian forum seems to be that there's little hope that the eggs are viable because they've been left uncovered too often and too long.
Personally, I think we should wait a few more days - we've seen all too often how peregrines surprise everyone, before giving up hope completely.

I don't think we should give up yet...there could be a hatch yet!!!

This nest is plucking at my heartstrings.

Love your vid sgb. She's a beautiful bird.

I was surprised to find someone here...

The eggs will be removed quite soon and probably examined to understand what happened, although it's probably the result of them being left alone for a long time on a cold Sunday :egg15:

.
It's unfortunate but it happens - and particularly heart-tugging now that the male has finally understood what he has to do :egg16:

Warbler, Is that the new male on the nest in sgb's last pic? I have trouble getting this cam to load so I can't recognize faces too well.

Thanks!

I'm not too good on spotting the difference with these two either but I think it's the female. She has a full helmet but here's a photo of the male from our forum:

Perhaps this will help you :egg9:

BTW Dutch Eagle Fan has suggested on our forum that we wait a few days before removing the eggs. He says that there have been cases of eggs hatching after 6-7 weeks from the date they were laid! I'll keep you posted on what happens...

Dutch Eagle Fan is a she by the way :egg11:

(I posted the info about the Pittsburgh Gulf tower nest of 2010. Tasha's two eggs hatched after 56 (or 57/58) days.)

Sorry DEF!

We use nicknames etc to protect ourselves and then we make mistakes... Apologies if I've got anyone else wrong. BTW I'm a 'she'.

Appio & Vergine.

See? ! I was right in keeping faith in Mother Nature!!! :egg5:

@ Warbler: No need to say sorry :egg8:

It's not always easy to know the gender of a forum member. Nicknames can confuse and only when somebody is posting some personal info one can be sure. :egg119:
