Well done Maya

Change over - 33 arrives to relieve Maya

c L&RWT

33 is trying to get comfy.  He has been up and down a few times.   

If I recall a couple of years ago when there were four eggs, he seemed to struggle a bit which I suppose could be with him being smaller than Maya.  

It'll be interesting to see what happens this time with four eggs. It would be great if they all hatched and survived, but what a feeding task for 33!

Maya sitting tight with 33 standing guard.
The camera is glary but I'd say that Maya has frost over her back/tail.

Thank you all for the updates and captures. I seem to be missing so much this year, I am delighted to read that Maya has laid a fourth egg.

So many cams to follow and a life that keeps getting in the way!!

Morning all - 33 keeping Maya company just now
