Maya is sitting on an egg!
Whay ! hey! well done Chloe.....
How did you spot that!!? hope Scylla caught it on Vid.
I was not the first to spot it but it was laid around 6.20am. When Patily posted that she was settling on the nest picking at bedding, 6.17, she must have been getting ready to lay :)

Chol:):) well the breakfast club missed it..with patily and me posting duplicates, amazing how things change in seconds,when you change sites...
LOL the captures you posted were of her sitting on an egg and you didn't know it :)
I thought I'd seen an egg earlier as you say Chloe BUT then she appeared to be tugging at what I'd seen as if eating a fish. When SK2 posted she mentioned her 'trying to get comfortable. Has it been confirmed anywhere like Twitter?.
Morning everyone - thanks for updates. What fantastic news :-)
Not the clearest of screens just now, but got a little glimpse of the egg underneath her just now :-)

The glare is making life difficult BUT she certainly seems to be adopting the classic brood patch posture when settling down.Earlier on she was facing directly into the camera.
Unfortunate rain blob right where the egg is.
Dad doing a good job incubating and turning egg till Mum back and pushes him off!
