The cams keep going down and freezing - perhaps due to amount viewing just now? Maya is now incubating so there has been a change over at some time.
Intruder - Maya rises from the eggs, screeching. 33 arrives
Threat passes quickly. Maya settles back down on the eggs while 33 preens himself
A pretty sight - is she up to something?! ;)
