What a fantastic season this has been watching Maya and 33 raise their four chicks.

Such a fantastic recount! Thank you Karen, not only for the slideshow, but for all the coverage and hard work you have put in this season (without the use of scroll back too! lol), you've done a brilliant job! WELL DONE!
Kind regards, Ann

I am amazed that you've managed all the skills to put this together, especially given the cam problems thru the season. I had a warm glow and a smile on my face all the way thru. Thank you so much, Karen, for this and for your massive contribution thru the whole season.
