'Penguin cam' focus on eggs

Edinburgh Zoo has introduced a new feature to their "penguin cam" - a counter to show how many eggs they have laid.

Visitors to the zoo's penguin cam can check in daily to see an egg counter showing what eggs have been laid by each of three different types of penguins in the enclosure.

Keepers are expecting more than 100 eggs this year across their penguin population.

Eggs first started to appear this year in the penguin enclosure at the end of March, and once laid they take approximately 35 days to hatch.

When chicks start to appear the egg counter will then hatch into a chick counter.
