I have reorganized a bit and renamed the forum from "Griffon Vulture" to "Vulture" to get it more general and opened a new topic "Vultures" for posts about any kind of vultures all over the world.

There was a short close-up zooming on T49, the male, who is on incubation duty today
Cam was offline for two days
Some more infos about this breeding couple - translated with help of Google translator, so no guarantee that it is perfect
Male bird T49 hatched in 2013 in South Israel and was banded same year
Female K74 is at least 10 years older, hatched 2003 (at the latest) and got its wing mark in 2008 in Southern Israel.
K74 has been nesting in South Israel (Negev), but was also seen at Golan Hights, out of nesting season (North Israel)
Hatching of the egg can be expected around 20.February (~53 days incubation, egg was laid on 29. December 2019)

Doing a poop, some stretches and an egg roll, then back to incubation

Today I finally got them doing a shift change, female in, male out
The Lady had to make some slight corrections in the nestbowl, before she could settle down

Shift change, but before Mom K74 could settle down on the egg she had to chase away an uninvited visitor
The numbers on the visitor´s label look a 94, but the letter was not in cam view

K74 is not keen on any kind of visitors
I couldn´s see more of the visitor´s label, it flipped over just when it was landing in
Madame had unruly feathers today

Another shift change. T49 was a bit surprised at the first moment, but then saw that it was his Lovely coming in to take over incubation duty.
Part of the egg can be seen
K74 had to make some few renovations like always, before she could settle down

K74 was pretty upset to see T49 come back to the nest, maybe she was already very hungry?
He is always so-so-so careful when he moves some sticks on the nest

here's something else. i don't know how many of you perhaps use Potplayer for making videos but this concerns this player:
WARNING:
a virus of some sort tried to sneak in camouflaged as a Potplayer update.
refuse updates at least for some time and keep your firewalls up-to-date! my firewall noticed it and removed the "update".

Dad T49 is on the eggs. He gets up for some scratching, a poop shot and a good wing stretch.
After he had made a short control out of cam view to the left side, he returned, rolled the egg again and settled down to continue incubation
