Summary of the season so far:
Maya arrived back 12 March and Blue 33(11),on 14 March. The pair are currently incubating three eggs - #1 laid 28 March, #2 laid 31 March and #3 on 3 April.
Maya and 33 have incubated these eggs for 34 days now and in a few days we should see the first hatching of the season and another record broken!
Still together just now, but then 33 flew off.

There has been a change over - 33 now incubating
Maya returns .. I am always waiting on her sitting down next to 33
She doesn't but instead stands for a bit letting 33 have a little snooze.
Eventually they change over and 33 flies off leaving Maya incubating.
Then 33 returns and snuggles down beside her ... he really is the most!
This pair are inseparable :-)
As I type Maya has got up and having a scratch
And she soon snuggles down again
Thanks for the new thread, Karen. You have been busy this morning!
Thanks, Everyone, for the pics and posts. 33 certainly is endearing when he settles down next to Maya.
Kind regards, Ann
Good Morning
Thanks for all the pics and posts since I last was here yesterday morning.
At last a nest that looks dry this morning.
