More fish
Maya earlier brought in a large clump of hay and has left it just behind the nest cup. It looks as if it is partially on top of the chicks now????
Hope it doesn't cause any problems between 33 having to land with fish and of course don't want to see the chicks tangled.
Out for a bit so catch up later. BFN

Birdies LG DU update.
33 arrives with a large fish
Oh No it is alive and jumps into the nest cup
33 gets a hold of it and now flies off
Good morning all, thanks for the updates yesterday, I was out all day so was relying on them.
That was a whopper Blue 33 just arrived with, it certainly made the quads sit up, as they all got a slap from its flapping. They seem to have a hay covering.
