They had changed over at one point and 33 arrives
Maya takes off leaving 33 to incubate but 33 has other ideas ..... like some fish. He takes it and off he goes
Maya, within minutes, flies in
and now she ponders over the egg and soon snuggles down on it

I notice Maya is still standing and was wondering if she remained on the nest/egg all night and incubating or delaying as she did one year.
I need to check pre-midnight, but otherwise the egg was incubated till morning.
But first... brunch !!!
IMAGICAT
Thanks Scylla for the overnight coverage. So it very much looks like incubation is underway and perhaps OK to assume that if Maya sees no need to delay incubation then she doesn't foresee any delay in her laying egg #2? Well that is my theory and hopefully we will see #2 tomorrow :-D
Back to the nest :-D
33 arrived with a fish around 17:25 - sorry I could not post then as too busy eating myself :-)
Didn't really get a clear view of the fish to see if it was a fresh one or remains from this morning. Anyway Maya took it and flew off leaving 33 to take over incubating.
Maya had a good break and returned just after 18:00. 33 took off and Maya resumed incubating for about 5 minutes until 18:05 when 33 arrived with a clump of nesting material
Maya rose while 33 fumbled around. She then gave in and flew off.
33 once more is in his glory having got rid of Maya LOL and settles down to incubate "his" egg.

Maya has now returned. 33 mates then flies off.
Maya is fiddling with a small stick and now settles down to incubate
I'm off for the night . BFN
