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.

Thanks for this information Mike. As well as cleaning her feet, regulating her body temperature makes a lot of sense :-)

And another and then she settles down.
No Tiger, I don't think it is going to happen today
Snap Noc LOL
But one of these times something is going to have happened :-D
cam zoomed in ... much better as we'll get an excellent view of the eggs when Maya rises:-))
She is calling
Ooh, I'll see if there's a movie of the eggs yet :)
EDIT
No, not since zooming.
You wouldn't believe it, as I have contributed so little, but I've been recording this nest 24/7 since the start of the season :'( I can't see it on-screen very well, without cricking my neck ;) so it only catches my attention when something suddenly changes, like the black and white squirlies ;)
