froggg Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Mystery eggs cause extreme eggcitement Alerted by devoted American web cam watcher, Isabelle B. Leevitornot, Derby peregrine project workers were amazed to see two more eggs suddenly appear overnight in the nest, less than 24 hours since a second egg was laid. Nick Brown for the project said: "Female peregrines take two day or more days to form an egg. Since she only laid the second egg mid-morning yesterday (Monday 31st March), she cannot possibly have produced these two new eggs without outside assistance. The only possibility is that both the male and an intruding, mystery third bird have each laid an egg, probably trying to make up time on peregrines elsewhere in the UK which are all well ahead of Derby, with most already sitting on four eggs by now. Nick said: "Obviously this is very eggciting news and quite unprecedented - though a similar thing happened once before in Egsville USA. This would be the first occurrence in the UK and in Europe too. We know that some species of male fish can change sex and lay eggs, so it's not entirely impossible that peregrines could do likewise. And it would also prove that the strange intruding third bird was a female." The members of the project team are scouring the literature now to try to validate these observations and find other cases. Nick Brown April 1st 2014 Ps Egged on by the opportunity this provides to further our scientific knowledge, Nick Moyes is abseiling down from the top of the tower now to remove the two extra eggs for analysis - so if you log on and only see two eggs, that will be the reason. There is only one day in the year when such activity is permitted under government lie-cence. And today is the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Abseiling, eh? Such a talonted person. Wonder who pays the bill? They also missed a trick. Surely the spokesman should have been Perry Greene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Nephew rang me early 1st April. I was still dozy from sleep. "Have you heard about Steve McClaren?....he's moved...." For a split second, he'd got me until adding "...to Chelsea!" Any other team and I might have fallen for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
