When I got home both crows were at the nest, but by the time I got there, Mr Crow had left (so no pictures, sorry)
Fun fact: there was a partially eaten crab in the park. It reminded me of some memories: my first contact with the crows was four years ago, when they woke me up at dawn eaten crabs on my roof:

(they haven't done it since I've befriended them)

I turned my head to the sound and Mr Crow was perched on the pole closest to where I was (which is not a pole where he usually perches much - it's lower than the other ones around and not good to see far).
I want to assume it meant "good morning" or rather "do you have peanuts for me this morning?"
But I will be prudent and only say that this is what he may have done. We'll see if he does it again or not in the future.
Mini #CrowUpdate. I'm pretty sure the eggs have hatched. Mr Crow has been going to the nest these past two days (first time I see him doing it since it was complete) and at the same time Ms Crow has been spending less time in it. She even was on the lookout for a bit this morning and chasing eagles yesterday. (I found a big crow feather in the park this morning, I kinda hope it's hers and that Mr Crow didn't lose one more).

A crow's math skills include geometry 
by Nell Greenfieldboyce, April 12, 2025
"Crows are able to look at a handful of four-sided shapes and correctly distinguish those that exhibit geometric regularity from those that don't, according to a provocative new study.
"It's the first time a species other than humans has been shown to have this kind of geometric intuition, says Andreas Nieder, a cognitive neurobiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
" 'Claiming that it is specific to us humans, that only humans can detect geometric regularity, is now falsified,' says Nieder. 'Because we have at least the crow.'
"Previous research has demonstrated that regardless of age, culture, or education, humans are really good at noticing geometric regularity in shapes."

Why DO crows attack eagles?
Newly revised, poetic 4-minute fable reveals a forgotten tale of pride, memory & skyborne ritual.

Oh, oh, Mr Crow has been hanging out near the nest more than usual today. Does it mean the eggs have hatched? No idea. I shall investigate this afternoon (the weather is a bit shitty this morning, it feels like a French month of March, but it should be sunny this afternoon)

Mr Crow may not have eaten much peanuts yesterday, but this morning he's pillaging my balcony and garden (he even grabbed the ones in the plastic box - and he doesn't trust that plastic box).
after all the sun of last few days a few crows popped by for any loot i might drop.

I heard him land on the balcony and eat the peanuts there. It's the first time he does it so late in the day.
I'm not really sure what is happening. Either he's very weak and possibly hurt again from a fight with an eagle or an invader. That's the negative interpretation. Or (to be more positive) he knows the eggs are about to hatch, so he's not eating in order to save food for the hatchlings??? No idea.
I'm home tomorrow, I'll keep a close eye on the nest.
#CrowUpdate
When I checked the nest this evening, Ms Crow was being pretty active in it. It seems that she was rearranging things (the eggs? padding?) before getting ready for bed. The eggs should hatch any day now, not sure if this is related or is she does that every evening.
Mr Crow's behavior was a bit unusual today. He was on the lookout for most of the day, but he definitely looks exhausted.
The crows have been busy. All the fur wads from yesterday (and two previous sessions) have been carried off to their nests.
