Hi Mike, I am just about to put the news out there, thank you very much for your help - would you be able to pass on my thanks to the group at all please? "

The mystery of the eggs! Are there three or are there four!
Many thanks Karen for the info that Bue S1(15)m had returned to RW, I had missed that gem completely. I believe he was holding territory last year. Can he attract a female this year!

33 then was a tad clumsy trampling over the eggs.  He has now flown and Maya continues to incubate.

FISH @ 19:08 and nice clear view of the eggs

quite a tiddler by 33's standards

Maya flies off leaving 33 in charge

33 settles down
