  Good to see you here Karen. Go easy. Third egg due anytime but how we'll get to see it is anyone's guess!

  Thanks Mike, believe me, I am. 

  Just noticed your post and what a shame for you just missed a fish delivery!!

  up she rises waiting on her fish

  

  19:28  33 arrives

  

  Maya flies off with the fish

  

  19:29   Still two eggs as Mike has just reported

  

  19:31   33 settles down to incubate

  I'm closing down now - hopefully not too long until egg #3 arrives.

  BFN.

  MC and all. Please check out these times.,
  0134,0405,0604,0633.0648 I can only see two eggs here BUT
  
  at 0705.21 Maya has her rear towards us and as she stands there is a clear view of a blood covered egg.
  I think she had just laid the third?
  I need you experts to have a look.

  Hi Mike

  I had a look and it does look like a new egg laid, but until we see 3 on the nest it is hard to tell for sure. 

  Also at that time Maya did look like she was laying.
