And today:
054 and 055 will be 76 days old
056 is 74 days old and
057 is 70 days old
Maya arrives with a stick closely followed by 054 then 057
And another arrives - must be getting near fish time!
Alison - I know, just where has the time gone? I can hardly believe next week when we enter August we will be starting to speak of migration.

054, 056 and 057 shouting and waiting as 33 approaches the nest
