thx to our Maria Lewandovska

second egg in the new clutch

youtube chat info - thx a lot to all, especially to Svetlana (@паніСвітланаК)

4:52 AM @Primero_Segundo​​
- 02:13:55… Comienza a empujar estando de pie. // —02:14:14… Se tumba. // —02:14:45… Pone el 2º HUEVO. // —02:30:13… Se levanta y se ven los .
5:23 AM@Primero_Segundo​​
- 05:15:23… Llega el macho. Se había marchado en 23:22:13.

7:40 AM @паніСвітланаК
​​At 2.14 am on 3 April 2026, the second egg appeared. At 2.30 am, the female laid it.This means 82 hours passed between the first egg and the second.

There appears to be one egg missing in the laying sequence. The next egg was laid only after an unusually long interval of 82 hours. Such extended gaps can occur for several reasons, including a temporary interruption of ovulation, hormonal fluctuations, nutritional or energetic stress, disturbance, poor post migration condition, age related irregularities, or the resorption of a non viable egg.
