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 did a lovely little "Good Morning" video but it's corrupted - turns out to be 1KB in size (which is nothing).
So here is our Osplet #1 in (R)Technicolor ;-)
Blue33 brought in a fish earlier and osplet had a couple of bites after Maya had had quite a few.
IMAGICAT
Lovely sight MC.
Birdies LG DU update.
33 jumped off the cam post to eat the remains of the fish. Maya incubating. First egg shell is now out of the cup and on the nest floor.
Chick looks well.

Osplet didn't want any of this - hardly surprising.
Morning all - thanks for the earlier captures.
Glad to see that shell out of the cup. Bobble looks great!
Now we await #2 LOL
MC. You were 'off' ages ago!!
Love the 'binocular' view.

33 then flies off with it.
33 flies back with fish but Maya is not bothered and does not move.
She does look weary Karen unless she is hearing a second chick moving?
33 back again with fish. No move from Maya
