Just the two bobbleheads - must of been a stick moving I saw earlier for it is so, so difficult
Blimey .... Maya is covering the chicks with the hay!!
and then settles down
She is doing plenty of shoogling getting the hay sorted. One thing for sure, they will all be toasty tonight.
Off now - G'Night ALL

Morning Mike and ALL Beautiful morning and looking glorious around 5.30am.
Hopefully the glare will soon dim and we get a clear view to see if the 150th chick has hatched!
33 arrived and mantling / wing flapping
Soon calms and 33 flies off.
I expect there will be a lot of activity early morning with all the males off fishing to provide for their nests and I suppose there are those scouting around looking!
33 is on the nest currently and mantling like crazy so something is disturbing them. Maya stays put.
EDIT. checking back he's flown
Maya rises and starts to feed
Yes, #3 has hatched .. I can see 3 bobbleheads
Welcome little one - Rutland's 150th Chick :-)
