20:31 B33 must have come back for the fish as it's no longer on the nest
22:06
Looked like a feed as I looked in but Maya stood between us and the chicks Then she gradually moved around and seemed to be clearly up However, I cannot see any fish so Maya, I presume, found a left over scrap of fish It is very windy and although 33 was on the nest he probably hasn't been able to fish

Morning Patily & ALL -
Chick #1 is 4 days old & #2 is 2 Days.
We could very well see Chick #3 hatch today!
Everyone - thanks for all your well wishes.
Patily: I am sorry to read you too are in pain Hopefully it will ease soon but meantime rest and look after yourself. And I agree, heat is best for I am using my hottie :-)
Scylla: Also I am sorry to read you are not well. Rest up and take care.
Sandra: Thanks for all the posts, great account of the day and so appreciated. I so laughed at this comment:
