Nice one!
This and your previous post are two unusual shots even though this is a common species. You should tag and move them to the guide page. You seem to have a talent for capturing interesting behaviors!

Are these eggs the same ones the adult was eating? The date is different. If not, they shouldn't be linked - tagging both and unlinking is the easy way to change that.
