Day 12 — Five eggs holding; male visits cluster around her recesses

Steady through the night. At 06:37 the female stepped off and the Tapo caught all five eggs in clean view — same five, same arrangement we’ve been counting since April 26. The male visited at 07:10 (rim and adjacent shelf), again at 08:37 (close approach), and continued in a similar shape through the afternoon. Her recesses were short — two to four minutes — and the male was reading them tightly, arriving with food during her absence and clearing out before she returned. By dusk she was back on the cup. At 19:22 she stepped off briefly one more time before settling for the night, and the cup still held five intact eggs. Twelve hours later, two of them would be chicks.
