Maya & 33’s Record Breaking Season so far:
Maya surprised us when she arrived back 12 March, the earliest date ever recorded at a UK public nest.
Blue 33(11), not to be outshone, arrived two days later on 14 March, making this date the earliest known for a returning pair.
On 28 March Maya laid her first egg, becoming the earliest egg to be laid in a UK public nest beating the current record by 5 days!
And in the early hours of 31 March, Maya laid a second egg.

Over the next few days we can expect Maya to lay another egg or perhaps she may lay another two! But let’s hope our record breaking pair enjoy a peaceful April and plenty of good weather while they incubate their precious eggs.
S1 has been seen at Horn Mill Farm today.
Thanks, All, for the posts and pics.
Alison, Thanks, I was just thinking about that family, S1 and siblings, and wondering how many had been seen this year.
Kind regards, Ann
Excellent news - thanks Alison.
I wonder if S1 will pop in and say hello to Mum and Dad?
