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.

First feed
Lol, Maya almost looks like a new Mum, underestimating the stretch required ;-D
IMAGICAT
Awwwww
It is a healthy wee thing
Mums says thats enough and covers it up ... lovely to see its first feed
And nice big bit of fish left for later but I expect 33 will want a little too :-)
That is so cute
This osplet has looked very strong from the get-go! :)

Does Blue33 have a decent crop on him? So he might not take the fish too soon.

33 has just flown in with a large stick - Oh 33 not just now :-)
33 goes over and picks up the fish
33 takes off with it to have his share and I'm sure he'll bring it back later for Maya and the chick.
My first proper views of chick #1
