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!
Now they are awake and all up for breakfast!
Birdies LG DU update.
As I looked in Maya was picking in the nestcup so presumably tidying up Now settled back on the chicks Huge piece of fish left
Was just going to post that chicks home alone when Maya arrived, quickly followed by 33
C L&ROP
33 is there as well now but showing no interest in the fish.
And 33 has flown Maya wants to start a feed but #2 and #3 too engrossed in a battle #3 asleep....and so are the other two now
Maya feeds herself 33 must be on the campost...very wobbly
All three up for a feed now. How quickly things change!
Every now and again Maya turns towards the chicks to see if they want fish and eventually #1 starts to take some The other 2 waking up now

Problems posting but Maya offered the chicks food but only one interested and took a little more.
Maya is now cleaning up and chicks sleeping in the warm sun.
