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!
Morning! They are certainly feeding very well. I woke up at around 5am and had a quick look in on my phone to see a feed going on. Then back to sleep (me that is!).
Maya was giving the chicks some space and has flown off but I'm sure she is back on the cam post above them...wobble, wobble!
She's back and looks a bit wet so perhaps a quick bathe.
Chicks just huddled together in the morning sun.

2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
One looking for food, one couldn't care less and one snoozing. I'd guess in order of hatch!
Stream keeps freezing, Anya has asked the tech guy to look into it.
Thanks Mike - very difficult, if not impossible to watch at times. Hopefully they can resolve the issue quickly.
I can't wait to get there this weekend although I suspect I'm not going to get much time to have a good look at them all! I would have thought Saturday afternoon will be manic!
I think the bobs are hungry again, but Maya's not playing.
Now 33 has brought a stick and is standing guard.
