Catch up with some of today's feeds along with some captures that I managed to snap earlier.
13:10 33 arrived with a lovely fresh fish
He plonked it down in the middle of the cup and Maya just looks!
A flap - the fish was still living
33 got hold of it and flew off with it.
************
13:44 33 returned with the fish
But Maya didn't take it, instead fed #1, #2 and #3 from left over fish on the nest
14:15 After the eldest three were full, Maya went round and fed #4 from the fresh fish - aww
15:15 More fish - all chicks up and ready.
#4 not missing out - Maya is reaching out making sure all chicks are getting fish
16:20 More fish!
16:29 #4 getting a few bits once #1, 2 & #3 had some
Brilliant to see plenty fish and multiple feeds. As in the past, Maya is feeding them little and often which is keeping them happy.
So far, so good :-)
Another feed underway
It would appear that 33 has been in with supper for just caught the end of another feed.
Maya now snuggling down on the chicks
As the days pass this is going to get more and more difficult as they grow and of course there being four of them.
This was a flapping fish a few moments ago:
As you can see, the browser position has changed overnight, dang cos it will take me ages to get it right.
