Karen W said: I wanted to see the time recorded on their video. It is 08:03
I have this @ 07:00* - not a good view :(
*After which my recorder stopped recording - not the first time it's done it this season, and it's 100% reliable on other laptops/nests :-/
Eek! It's just dawned on me that, unable to see what I'm doing from a distance, I might be hitting the Pause button by mistake...

Cathy said:He is as subtle as a brick!
He shoved her off and got to incubate, but not for long as she returned the gesture ;)
His last activity was to try to crowd her out with this stuff:
Maya showed us 4 eggs nice 'n clear:
Morning ALL
Maya peacefully incubating
33 arrives. Maya wont get up and he settles beside her

PS: That is a great view of the 4 eggs in your screen caps at 2.17 pm. Hope it all goes well for them and they can see four to fledging again.

Well it probably will be a long dry summer Karen, when we won't be able to take advantage off it
