A new month and lots to look forward to as we eagerly await these precious eggs which Maya and Blue 33(11) have devotedly protected, hatch!
For anyone new and just starting to watch the Rutland Manton Bay Webcam, here is a brief summary of the 2016 season so far:
The resident female, Maya returned 21 March. Her mate Blue 33(11) returned 27 March. Maya has laid three eggs, #1 on 4 April, #2 on 7 April and #3 on 10 April. Maya and 33(11) are currently sharing incubating duties and we should see a hatch around the second week in May.
Happy viewing
More attention to this egg ...
And more turns!

Maya continues shuffling and rocking
Certainly is, later tonight, or sooner?? but then she could settle down again, probably hears the chick inside, but trying to catch a glimpse of a pip is difficult.
Think this is the vid relating to your 3.03 post/pics Karen
