Continued from April 2019
The season so far:
Maya arrived back 14 March and Blue 33(11) on 23 March. They are currently incubating 4 eggs laid 2, 5, 8 and 11 April with the first expected to hatch around 9 May

33 starting to build the sides LOL But a good move for yesterday the oldest chicks, which are now 9 days old, were getting themselves out of the cup.
33 just landed with a whopper
33 holding on to it and having a couple of bits. Lots of gulls around so perhaps reason 33 is landing. Maya is following him trying to get it and the chicks are up too!
Maya now has it and drags it round the nest -
33 flies off and Maya feeds the chicks.

Thanks Scylla. Fingers crossed you have a recording :-)
AND
I see the Reply button has been fixed! When we now click on the Reply under a post we wish to reply to/quote after clicking on the RF option, we now see the text of the post and not the opening post.
The "Reply to Thread" at the bottom is a general button for posting and if using RF will show the OP.
So Scylla, our tables \ boxes are now redundant but they did tidy us over and I may still use them for I actually liked being able to personalise responses :-)
JaneV said:Thank you I think even I will be able to do this.
Yes I can.
Capture a bit blurry as I have had to zoom in to show this but that doesn't matter as I just want to show one of the older chick's head for it is now darkening
Edit: This is day 10 btw since the chicks first hatched.
Thanks Jane.
Maya feeding the chicks and 33 also has a fish and offers the chicks some.
Chicks aren't too hungry as Maya has stuffed them full so 33 is enjoying the fish :-)
But what a team 33 and Maya make
There are now two fish at the front and back of the nest.
33 has flown and Maya has picked up the front fish and LOL the chicks get their beaks up again. She offers some but soon they are all back snuggled down in a heap leaving Maya to enjoy some fish.
