Tiger Signature
The eggs are normally laid 3 days apart but hatching takes place at two day intervals.This happens because egg #1 is the biggest and each egg gets smaller.
Maya tidying up just now
Can't see much of them for the hay
Just a little airing and once more Maya settles downs

FISH @ 08:45
33 stands with the fish and Maya makes no attempt to rise/take it
33 flaps warning off whatever for I cannot see any intruder. Maya remains on the chicks.
33 then flies off with the fish
One of the bobs is at the back and peeking out from under Maya
she sees it and shoogles a bit to reposition and cover it.
Once more it gets its head out LOL
Maya now rises and one of them bobs up
Maya has a good stretch
And seeing that stretch reminds me it is now time for me to do mine!
Off for a bit now - SYL
Terrific video Scylla
Morning all, 9:08 B33 has brought brought back the fish
Feed in progress
All three were in good positions
9:20 Feed over and Maya settles down
I have to do some work online today but will pop on as much as I can

Morning Sandra
Just back and what on earth has been brought in?
Maya here is moving a large piece of bark I think. Also there has been a new stick placed!
at this rate we are not going to see anything
more positioning - (screen freezing)
can't wait to see the end result and where this eventually ends up!
Checking back to see the end result! Maya now settled
I doubt we are going to see very much for all that straw :-(
Plus the screen is freezing or mostly just black which is such a shame when we are wondering what is going on with Egg #4?
