The season so far:
33(11) and Maya both arrived back within hours of each other on the 22nd March. Maya surprised us this year by laying four eggs on the 4th, 7th, 10th and 13th April. Currently both adults are taking turns to incubate the eggs which are expected to hatch in the second/third week in May.

Along with other pictures of the action over the bank holiday weekend, Kayleigh's blog contains a video of 33 delivering that huge awkward stick yesterday like a pole vaulter LOL
Another great blog Karen.
When you look at those videos of 33 bringing in the sticks the look on Maya's face says it all LOL.... (not another damn stick) :-)
