Maya is well hunkered down over her brood
And as I posted that, she has popped her head up a few times to look around

33 landed with a stick and Maya promptly got up to arrange it and whilst she was busy with that 33 took the fish an flew off Maya back to her chicks
Morning ALL - thanks for all the updates and the capture of the sunrise - beautiful, thanks Mike
Just logged on to catch 33 flying off and Maya feeding the chicks however they look pretty full as lying down but Maya keeps pushing the fish to them LOL

Lovely big fish has been delivered and Maya feeding the chicks just now.
This is an interesting scene. One chick...yellow marker....is way outside the nest. The others red arrow seem to be snuggled under Maya. I hope this is resolved before dark.
I can't ever recall seeing this situation anywhere before? This was the last view before the night cam came on.
Is it ok, Mike?
