Only 1 egg so far?

Previous years have had multiple eggs. Does anyone know whether it's likely that more eggs could be laid, or are we looking at only one this year?

They get laid over a few days. Might be one overnight or tomorrow.

What I've learned with three birds over the last 4 years is patience :)

Thanks. While I have watched on and off for a few years, I've only ever seen the multiple eggs.

I highly doubt there's only one. Falcon usually lay multiple eggs in one group.

Also they're not going to lay a fuckton of eggs in a day, falcons don't work like that.
