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.

Intruder around again. 33 has landed and mantling. He is in the middle of the nest and Maya is trying to get to the eggs. She manages to cover the eggs
Threat appears to be over and 33 looks more settled.
33 has now flown.
Hi Noc, I wonder if it is the same intruder? If so, it has been about a few times today. Hopefully the team can tell more in their daily update.

I was thinking the same. The intruder(s) has been a nuisance today. I hope the update will tell us something more...
Again they are both on the nest looking around, though not alarm calling or mantling.
A couple of hours ago?

Morning all
Thanks for the clear view of the eggs - no signs as yet but hopefully soon we'll see a pip! And the misty sunrise but it is going to be a lovely day according to the forecast and hot too so we should see a fair bit of the eggs.
Here is the forecast .. perfect day for a hatch :-)
