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.

It is very unlike 33 not to sit, he has flown to the campost.

I wish Maya would get up just a litte :-)
Just a peek
I can't quite see, I wish I could wipe the cam :)
I know Jane, I practically have my nose up against the screen LOL
I saw an empty eggshell, and then a bit later a bobblehead coming up and going down again. But stills are just not going to show this.
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
It has definitely hatched. So hard with this lens
Can see its wee bobblehead but just not clear in stills ....
Awww , what a shame about the lens. But you can just make it out moving
Nest shaking, 33 is jumping for joy on the campost LOL
