What a palaver that was, does anyone ever get this, I was liking posts then got this up
Then it had the cheek to sign me out of the system LOL....
Oh well Good for 33, a fish delivery - just don't drop it on the chick/eggs please

Sorry folks for what appears to be a false alarm.

No need to apologise, Karen, I thought there was a second hatch last night too
That was what I was going to say too Sandra but got logged off - no apologies necessary, but you beat me too it (Again)!
I am sure there will be another one appear soon.

Yes, but you got everyone looking, KAREN
Seriously, tho - it wouldn't have been surprising after last year, and how difficult it is to make out anything in this half-hidden nestcup! If only they could have adjusted the cam to look down from a slightly higher point...

33 has flown - close ups
33 returned and had some fish on the nest
33 flew off returning with a large bunch of hay
Bobble looking up to dad
33 flies off, Maya tidies up a bit then settles back down on the bob/eggs
Out for a bit now - SYL
33 has returned with the fish
Few minutes later Maya has a tuck
And fish for the bob
The bobblehead is getting plenty
Just love the way 33 is standing proud. The defender and provider :-)
