not a great view of the feed for Maya remains feeding them with her back to us blocking the view.

Before I came here, having been watching the top cam out of the corner of my eye while doing other things, I mentally composed a post "We need to give KAREN a medal for her devoted masochism"
Love the snap of the 2 open-beaked osplets, and the one of 33 taking off with fish and nest material :)))
My network is playing up after another Windows Update this morning, I can only stagger thru the recordings
