scylla said:Big bounces! We should see a second bird soon.
That prediction wasn't fulfilled. Maya looks a bit bedraggled:
Morning ALL - thanks for earlier updates.
I am keeping a note of how many days Maya and 33 have been incubating. This is Day 15 and I will usually post the date when I first log in. No change from Scylla's post above - Maya sitting tight keeping those eggs protected from the brisk breeze. it does look cold, well colder than the last few days! As I type, Maya has just risen and flown revealing a huge fish beside the eggs
33 lands
And now Maya has returned, grabs the fish
Maya has flown with the fish and 33 now takes over incubating
