Day 10 — Steady incubation; male repeatedly in cup; brief human disturbance

Continuous overnight incubation through 06:00. At 06:17, the cup was briefly empty with all five eggs visible before the female returned and settled. The morning continued with steady incubation broken by short reliefs. The male was at the nest repeatedly. He first appeared at 06:59, then at 07:30 sat in the cup itself — atypical for the species. Similar male-in-cup observations followed at 08:54, 11:34, 12:38, 13:13, 15:57, and 17:15. Between these visits, he perched on the shelf below or on the rim of the book next to the nest while the female was either incubating or briefly off. The longest off-nest stretch ran roughly 11:10 to 11:33. During that window, the cup was empty and the male moved between the books, the nest rim, and the shelf below. She was back by 11:33 and resumed steady incubation through the afternoon. A human moved through the sunroom from 18:33 to 18:38 across three motion clips. The cup was empty during and immediately after; the female was first back on the nest at 18:58 and stayed for the rest of the evening. Continuous overnight incubation from 19:52 onward. The frequency of the male sitting inside the cup is the standout for…
