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.

I know Mike .. it must be drizzly and damp there today. Hopefully better weather next week as we approach the hatchings.
33 arrives with a branchy stick

33 fiddles about and Maya stays tight on the eggs. 33 after a minute of so flies off.
And I must go too. SYL
No change, still looking miserable here and top cam misty/smudged. Bottom cam a bit better.
Cam cleared now but still looking chilly.

Shaping up into a nice Sunrise :-)
I am not sure who is incubating to be honest, cannot see Maya's usual cross on her head, but maybe ruffled feathers.
There was a change over a few minutes ago. Maya is now on the eggs and 33 flew as soon as relieved.
