That's what I was wondering, Karen, re shell. Maya's covered it up now with nesting material
The nest cup is so deep I don't think a bob could have got there? Looking at my captures again, the 'thing' looked mottled unless it was strands of hay in front of it
What we really need is that cam to keep running so we can see1 Now 33 has arrived with a stick - just more piled up !!
at least Maya has now put it to the side!!
Oh NO - top cam down but I see this on the bottom one!!
Fantastic - thanks 33 !!

33 picks up the fish and flies off
Maya settles down
cam running and we can't see anything now!! Sods law LOL
must go for a bit - BBS
This just flipped across as Maya picked up the hay. It appears to be the 'thing' seen a short time ago. Quite lightweight
