Now is not the time for sticks 33!
He arrived with a long stick as Maya was once more paying attention to that egg!
pushed away by Maya and then to the edge by 33
33 now pecks at the left over fish
33 has now flown with the fish piece
Maya rises and walks around the nest giving us a look at the eggs and of course the bob
she quickly settles down with the bob well under her
Maya off on a quick comfort break leaving 33 in charge
Maya returns and 33 flies off. I thought for a moment he was going to sit!
Maya now tidies up
got to go out for a bit - BBS
Maya rises - appears to still be just the one bobble
