33 Flew in a few minutes ago, but Maya would not budge, think she expected a fish, so was chirping, after a wee while 33 jumped up to the perch.
He stands for a while
Then flies up to the perch
Afternoon ALL - thanks for earlier updates. Lovely sunrise captures - thanks Patily and Mary.
Working in the garden but all seems quiet here every time I look.
12:33 I noticed some new hay has been brought in at some point and currently Maya incubating
13:29 Another check and they have swapped over for 33 incubating now. Appears to be lovely and warm as he is panting in the sunshine

I wonder how many eggs are - three or four?
BBL
15:45 Maya screeching - intruder. I think I saw 33 giving chase and then he quickly returned to the nest and has settled beside Maya
15:50 both still watching
Maya had been calling for ages. Eventually 33 arrived empty taloned. Maya has flown leaving 33 to take over incubating.
Appears there are still three eggs
Maya has returned and takes over again as 33 flies off
33 arrives with a blanket for Maya
so sweet wrapping her up LOL
Maya is still calling - it is a fish she wants!
