Between freezes, Karen :(
Maya has returned
Some captures from in between freezes
soon 33 rises and moves across the nest and takes the remaining fish Maya must have brought back
33 flies off and Maya gives the eggs a check - can't see much - before settling down

I think it is going to be difficult to see any pipping in the egg, looks like we will have to wait until we see a wee head appear which will be bobbling of course LOL....

33 has been fiddling with the cot rails for the last 5 minutes, bet Maya could see him far enough LOL
