Few minutes later 33 arrives standing by/sheltering Maya as she protects the eggs from the rain
I'm not staying. Off to the garden to finish off some tasks before the rain moves north. SYL

33 arrives with a fish and Maya is up quick ready to take it
she gets hold of it and takes off
33 now takes up incubating. Bit fiddly getting one egg under him
But he manages and soon settles down
