Here's another of Ernest Porter"s pics showing the difference in Emoyeni and Thulane, though Em is a wee bit soaked. I would like to see this with Em dried out.

Black Eagle Project Roodekrans 5 hours ago · Edited Dear Raptorphiles,
As discussed with Gerald last night, for all intends and purposes, we can ‘safely’ assume that the first egg was laid on 29/30 April and the second 3/4 May. Once the eggs hatch, will one be able to assess a more precise date, taking into account that incubation is 44/45 days.
Hatching of the 1st egg is estimated to be on 11/12 June and the 2nd on 14/15 June. We have to keep in mind that at Roodekrans about 90% of the time, the first laid egg was recorded during late afternoon/early evening…about 6 o’clock or there about…the second laying is a bit more difficult in that this is not necessarily during a similar evening time slot.
We must also keep in mind that the eagles have experienced numerous incidences of addled (unfertilized) eggs as well as zero hatchings such as the recent second breeding attempt. This will have to be monitored intensively during the hatching periods to determine which of the two hatched first!
I’d like to stick my neck out and guess the fledging time…but that may just be a tad premature – let’s just keep our fingers crossed that this is a normal breeding season.
Thanks to Garth Heydenrych for an exquisite photo…we are certainly looking forward to many more!
Eagle greetings

Here's a video from one of the chatters Juanita, showing off Emoyeni's 2 eggs. I think the best picture I've seen of the eggs so far is the one above that BUNNIE posted.
Black Eagle Project Roodekrans May 17 Hi everyone! I have been so busy recently and haven't posted a photo of a Verreaux's Eagle for so long now, sorry about that. I am going to try and make up by spoiling you with some photos from the past of the adults and Nessi (the previous chick) which I haven't published yet. (Ernest Porter) (5 photos)
