Isn't she supposed to be sitting on the egg to keep it warm?

 

Won't other birds get the egg while she's away?

They do this every year - they keep the eggs cool until all are laid and can be incubated at the same time. Then the chicks are all born in the space of a day or two.

 

The parents are never far away while the eggs are in the scrape.

I can only see one egg this evening - Mrs P Sheffield is standing by on the ledge

Thought she was about to lay No.2 then. Stood up and seemed to strain a bit but then went back down on first egg.
