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!
33 returns. No doubt as anxious as we are to see the first of 2018
Looked away for a second and 33 has gone
I thought that was the moment we were going to get a chance Karen!!!

If only she would turn Mike, then we would see.
I love seeing a hatch - just so special :-)
No hatch yet then :-)
I agree Karen, when you see the video's of a hatching, it fills me with awe that little thing can chip its way out of the shell, they are so small and in just a matter of weeks they are beautiful ospreys. The part of nature to rejoice in....

No Mary, not yet but soon for this little un is chipping its way into this world just now. And you're right, seeing them hatch, whether live or video, does fill you with awe.
And lets face it, we need a little rejoice just now :-)
