Maya feeding the chicks just now
and as I type, 33 has arrived with another fish which he has dropped off at the front of nest
33 has now grabbed the fish he has brought in and starts to eat, most probably the head while Maya is cleaning up around the chicks
33 has now flown with the fish
Maya just looks
33 returns and stands watching as Maya feed the chicks
33 flies off and Maya continues feeding
Beautiful evening.
Maya looking very content and happy with 2 chicks, 2 eggs and a fish at talon.
And not to mention, a great partner who has just arrived.
Maya rises and walks round and has herself a little fish.
33 flies off and then Maya settles back down on the chicks. Plenty fish left and I expect 33 will be in soon to have his share.
Off now - G'Night All
