I missed a beautiful mating silhouette because I was still recording the top cam and too slow to take a snapshot of the bottom cam.
I think 33(11) has come in to assist Maya/Mrs 5R in laying her egg LOL
Yes lovely sunrise there Scylla.

Early-morning mating - not as good as the one I missed:

Too soon for an egg here - it will be midweek at the earliest. They have only been back 7 days. Remember that last year, when she laid only 4 days after the first observed mating, she had been back 2 weeks before 28(10) showed up - plenty of time to shift from migration mode into breeding condition.
